Perfect Couple

Episode 31

When Yuanbao returns, I'll hand over the Military Weapons Office to him.

I hope that this day does come.

Wenzhao, you're smart, capable, diligent and loyal.

I wouldn't have to be so worried

if Yuanbao was half as good as you are.

Aunt, I will definitely not let you down.

Don't worry.

[ Military Weapons Office ]

Stop right there!

Sir, please halt. Soldiers who aren't from the Military Weapons Office aren't allowed...

By the orders of Madam Jin, in the future, any matters here at Military Weapons Office will be handed over to Master Liu!

Open the gates!

Master, this way, please.

Be quiet for a while!

I have an announcement to make.

By the orders of Madam Jin, in the future, any matters here at Military Weapons Office will be handed over to Master Liu!

Master Liu will now give us a few words. Applaud!

The Military Weapons Office was assigned by His Majesty to Jin Manor to manage.

Madam Jin sent me here to supervise the operation. I will definitely be on full alert.

I believe all of you still remember the accident from a couple a days ago,

in which the cannon backfired on Young Master Jin's inauguration.

Was that not us shaming ourselves?

Those cannons were all made here in our Military Weapons Office.

So as long as I am here at the Military Weapons Office,

I won't allow such accidents to happen again!

Have you all heard?

Since the Military Weapons Office is now taken over by Master Liu,

you must all obey his orders! You have to follow his lead!

Otherwise, you will all end up like him!

We will all obey Master Liu's orders!

Xiaocui, who has been trying to kill Yuanbao so many times?

I do not know.

Young Master is a detective,

he must have offended someone?

Jin Family is prestigious among all other Imperial Court members. Someone is bound to be jealous.

Madam, Young Master has upset you time and time again,

but you still treat him as if he were your own child.

You worry about him constantly.

Xiaocui, I might not be Yuanbao's biological mother,

but it's as if he were my own flesh and blood.

Jin Family is now at great risk because of the fake marriage,

and Yuanbao left home in a fit of pride.

Now there are even enemies who are after his life. How could I not be worried?

Informing Madam, Master Eunuch Li is here to convey Empress Dowager's decree!

Master Eunuch Li?

Empress Dowager's Imperial decree!

Jin Yuanbao and his wife, Jiang Xiaoxuan, are summoned to the palace tomorrow.

By command of the Empress Dowager.

Master, Empress Dowager has summoned Madam Jin, Jin Yuanbao and his wife.

Yes.

No wonder Madam Jin looked unusually stressed. Jin Yuanbao and his wife have fled.

She can't report to Empress Dowager without them.

Master, this is a great opportunity.

You can expose the identity of Young Mistress to Her Highness.

Empress Dowager will surely be furious, and punish them severely for the crime.

Jin Yuanbao and his wife will definitely be killed.

At that time, Jin Manor will be all yours.

You make it sound so simple.

I am too ignorant. Please enlighten me, Master.

If I were to rat them out to Empress Dowager,

Madam Jin and Jin Yuanbao will surely be in trouble.

But I would not benefit from it.

This is the crime of embarrassing the Empress Dowager.

Empress Dowager would surely take back the Military Weapons Office in fury.

If so, the fruits of my labor go right down the drain. It would all be in vain, wouldn't it?

This...

Moreover, I'm Madam Jin's nephew. If the entire Jin Manor is to be executed, I won't be able to escape it.

Master Liu, in your opinion...

Therefore, exposing this to Empress Dowager is the last resort, only when we're left with no other choice.

Madam Jin is very sensible and has a clear picture of her interests.

When disaster strikes, she won't risk hundreds of lives at Jin Manor.

She will definitely surrender Yu Qilin over, saying that she was deceived by Yu Qilin.

She will use the life of Yu Qilin in exchange for the safety of Jin Manor.

You mean that...

Madam Jin will admit to the fake marriage, and have Yu Qilin bear all the consequences?

Yes, I don't think that she can come up with another solution.

Jin Yuanbao has already fallen out with Madam Jin over Yu Qilin.

If Yu Qilin dies,

the relationship between Jin Yuanbao and Madam Jin will deteriorate completely.

By then,

you'll be the most trusted person close to Madam Jin.

A'Gui, you're getting smarter.

When I have re-established Liu Manor, you'll have a better career.

Thank you, Master, for your support.

Please pardon me for the nonsense that I just said.

A'Gui, tell me. Between career and a beauty... which is more important?

- They are equally important. - And what if you could only choose one?

I think that you already have the answer in mind, Master.

Empress Dowager has summoned us. What should we do? What are we going to do?

Madam... Madam, don't get anxious.

How can I not get anxious?

Madam, why don't you find an excuse first and

say both Young Master and Young Mistress fell severely ill, so they cannot meet Empress Dowager for the time being.

You should that know Empress Dowager carries out her orders with speed.

Even if she has to get servants to carry both of them there, she will.

Moreover, if we say that they are both ill at the same time, Empress Dowager will definitely grow suspicious.

Madam, pardon me for being bold.

At this stage, we can only report the truth to Empress Dowager.

What?

Madam, give this some thought. The truth will eventually come out.

If Empress Dowager learns of this matter from someone else,

the entire clan of Jin Family will definitely be executed.

It's better that you explain the situation to Empress Dowager first.

Just say that you were kept in the dark, and that girl Yu Qilin orchestrated everything by herself.

Say that she deceived you.

Let her suffer the consequences alone.

Sacrificing her will save you and everyone else in Jin Manor.

Madam, you mustn't hesitate any longer.

Xiaocui, this plan that you have come up with has also sprung to my mind.

But doing this might save Jin Manor, but not my son.

How is that so?

Yuanbao is completely infatuated by this woman.

If anything should happen to that woman, Yuanbao definitely won't want to live anymore.

I know him too well.

He would die along with that woman.

I've placed all my hopes on Yuanbao.

He is my son.

If I lose him...

what's the point of being alive?

What do you intend to do, Madam?

At this stage, we can only get Yuanbao and that woman to come home.

And then?

Could it be that you plan to keep this matter from Empress Dowager along with Yuanbao and Yu Qilin?

I have no other choice.

Madam! Madam, you mustn't!

Xiaocui, get up.

Madam, I understand.

You're finding an excuse for yourself.

This is a way to get Yuanbao back by your side.

Even if Yuanbao wasn't summoned by Empress Dowager, you'd do anything to get Yuanbao to come home!

Xiaocui, you really do know me well.

But that means you are risking your life for that wild girl as well.

It's not worth it, Madam!

I'm not risking my life for that wild girl.

I am risking my life for my son.

If Yuanbao won't survive...

then why should I?

I will share weal and woe with my son.

Madam, you are throwing yourself into the flames!

I cannot allow you to do this!

Xiaocui... Don't try to cajole me out of it!

Madam...!

'Those who love others will be loved, but those who hate others will be hated.'

Yu Qilin is like something I'm choking on in my throat...

and since I can't get it out, I'll just have to swallow it.

Even if it's just for Yuanbao's sake.

Empress Dowager won't doubt my words.

For the sake of my son,

I am willing to

take this risk with them.

Master, I'll get going now.

- Go ahead. - Yes.

Steward Liu!

Steward Liu! I have news to report to you.

What is it?

Steward Liu, Madam Jin wants you to prepare a horse and carriage and a few bodyguards.

- Right now? - Yes.

Aunt, I have the horse, carriage and bodyguards ready as per your request.

Good.

Are you going on a long trip?

Are you... Are you going to look for Yuanbao?

My son ran away... what do you suppose a mother should do?

Moreover, Empress Dowager has summoned Yuanbao.

You don't have to panic.

Empress Dowager summoned Young Master and Young Mistress to ask them about their life together.

Or perhaps it's because they had a bit of a conflict a while ago,

and Empress Dowager caught wind of some random gossip. She might just want to offer them some advice.

If that's the case, why don't we send a messenger to clarify the situation and she may change her mind about summoning them?

How about you leave this matter to me?

Wenzhao, how can we possibly put off an audience with Empress Dowager?

Moreover, the longer Yuanbao is away from the Manor,

the more anxious I get.

Yuanbao was so determined when he left that day. He's broken your heart.

I did not expect that you would still want to help him out.

No matter what he's done, he is still my son.

Aunt, let me go and look for Yuanbao instead.

You should have a good rest here in the Manor. After all, you are the pillar of the entire Jin Manor.

It's a chaotic world out there.

It will be little gain and great loss if anything happened to you along the way.

I have your best interests at heart as well the entire Jin Manor. I beseech you to reconsider.

But you should know what Yuanbao's temper is like.

It would all be in vain if anyone else goes instead of me.

Only I will be able to persuade him to come home.

But I'm really worried about your safety.

I know that you mean well, but I have already made up my mind.

Madam, everything is ready.

Aunt, since you insist on going, please allow me to accompany you.

You'll have someone to look after you and protect you along the way.

Wenzhao, we need someone to be in charge of the Manor.

There are so many matters to deal with, so you should stay behind.

All right then.

Now that I think about it, this is probably better. When Young Master gets home,

if Empress Dowager learns of the fake marriage, we just need to hand over Yu Qilin.

What "fake marriage"?

There was never a fake marriage.

- Aunt... - Where Empress Dowager is concerned, Yu Qilin is Jiang Xiaoxuan.

But Aunt, this...

You won't say anything, I won't say anything either.

Yuanbao and Qilin won't tell a soul either.

Aunt Gu and my two personal maids won't utter a word about it.

This way Empress Dowager will never ever know about this matter.

Yes, I will never utter a word about it.

I'll definitely keep this a secret. But there isn't a wall without a crack.

This concerns the safety of everyone here in Jin Manor. This concerns your safety, Aunt.

I beg you to reconsider this matter carefully.

I've said enough.

Let's get going.

Madam Jin, I have checked carefully. The four of them are at Fuxing Inn right ahead of us.

Block all the paths near this area. We'll head over there right now.

Are you satisfied now?

What am I satisfied with?

You're still pretending. You forced Yuanbao out of the manor and the Manor is now all yours!

Isn't this what you have been looking forward to all along?

You know why he left, so what has that got to do with me?

You're able to deceive Aunt and everyone else in Jin Manor,

- but you can't fool me! - How have I deceived you?

Do you dare to say that none of this is going according to your plan?

You tried every way possible to drive Cousin away. You made him leave Jin Manor.

You've been waiting for this day.

You've finally got your wish now.

But Elder Brother, "Brother" Yuanbao is the good brother that we grew up with! (T/N though they are maternal cousins in reality, Qianqian is trying to suggest they're more like blood siblings)

How can you do such a despicable and disgusting thing to him?

Do you still have any tiny bit of brotherly love left in you?

Enough!

You're ridiculous. "Brotherly love"?

You treat him like a brother, but has he treated us as his family?

We're just servants who are living under his roof!

If I don't re-establish Liu Manor for us,

we can never live our lives with pride! Do you understand?

Don't talk to me about all that!

I hate you!

I hate you for driving our cousin away!

If he doesn't come home...

I will never forgive you!

- Miss... - Go away!

Master, she might be your natural younger sister,

but she isn't on your side.

Should I lock her up?

No one can stand in my way.

From now on, she is to be closely monitored. She is not allowed to leave Jin Manor at all!

Yes.

Master, Madam Jin has just left to look for Jin Yuanbao.

This is totally unexpected.

As a mother, she will do anything

however insane it is, for her child.

I've made all sorts of assumptions, but I never expected her to risk her life

as well as hundreds of lives here at Jin Manor for her son.

Master,

the last resort is to...?

The men that you sent to kill Jin Yuanbao were all defeated by the men that Madam Jin sent to protect him.

I'm sure that she would be on her guard now.

The reason she dares to look for Jin Yuanbao

is because she already made arrangements.

If we act recklessly, we will expose our intentions.

What should we do then?

[ Fuxing Inn ]

Madam Jin, we have arrived.

All right.

Yuanbao...

I'm sorry.

It's my fault that you had to leave your mother and Jin Manor.

I feel really uncomfortable about this.

You should go back home.

Since I've already made a decision, I won't go back on my word.

You can tell them that I held you hostage,

so even if our secret is exposed in the future, it will have nothing to do with Jin Manor.

- If not, you could... - I just became an unfilial son.

Do you want me to be an unfaithful husband as well?

Don't say anything more.

As long as I'm around, I won't allow anyone to hurt you.

Timing and Subtitles carefully crafted by the MEI DAXIA Team at viki.com

- You are dismissed. - Yes!

Mother, do you still refuse to let her off?

Do you really have to kill her?

Mother, I started all of this.

Come kill me if someone must pay the price. Jiang Xiaoxuan is innocent, please let her off.

You know how to pretend to be loving and pitiful

as well as being a protective friend. You also pretend to be righteous?

No wonder Yuanbao is so obsessed.

Mother, do you have to be so ruthless to Qilin?

When I left Jin Manor, I told you that I will live and die with Qilin.

If you want to kill Qilin,

kill me first.

I don't want you to die.

You should go home with Mother, mend your relationship and live a good life.

If you die, I will perish as well.

Did I mention killing anyone? Why are you both so eager to die?

Yuanbao, you are my son.

I am your mother.

A son can abandon his mother and run away from home.

But a mother couldn't possibly abandon her son.

Since the day I left Jin Manor,

I have nothing more to do with Jin Manor anymore.

No matter what you've said

you'll always be my son, and I'll always be your mother.

Right now...

I'm here to take you home.

You should go home with your mother.

I have taken an oath. I will spend a lifetime with you, and never leave your side.

I'm not asking you to part with each other.

She is coming with us.

You're telling Qilin to come home?

That is as good as sending her to her death!

There are spies everywhere in the capital who are waiting to use her to create havoc.

Qilin can't go back.

The plaque that was bestowed by Empress Dowager is still in our manor.

We are still the General Jin Manor that is blessed by His Majesty.

Who would dare to barge in and make any arrests?

Yuanbao, you really distrust me so much?

Forgive me for being defiant. I don't want Qilin to be exposed to any danger,

nor returned to that perilous place.

Yuanbao, you shouldn't talk to Mother in that manner.

The both of you have committed an unforgivable crime,

and you still expect to find a place that is safe for you?

The world out there is huge so we're sure to find a spot for us.

Every bit of this world belongs to the Emperor. Empress Dowager has summoned both of you.

How can you not go?

If you don't go, the fake marriage is sure to be exposed.

At that point, we'll all truly be dead!

Mother, you've come looking for us to get us to meet with Empress Dowager?

Who dares to turn down a summons from the Empress Dowager?

And afterward?

You'll hand Qilin over to Empress Dowager, and blame everything on her?

You'd sacrifice Qilin in exchange for the safety of Jin Manor? Is that the right thing to do?

I have been very clear about my attitude.

I have made up my mind to spend a lifetime with Qilin.

Nothing that you say can change my mind.

Why do you distrust me so?

If I really planned to expose Qilin, I'd have done so already.

Did I need to come all the way here to look for you?

I've decided to safeguard this secret with the both of you. We'll overcome this crisis together.

Mother... what you mean is...

From now on, we are all on the same boat.

We will share weal and woe together.

We can only safeguard this secret together

to ensure everyone's safety.

Mother, are you going to keep Empress Dowager in the dark about us?

Mother, this is deceiving the Empress Dowager!

Yes.

That wild girl has already committed the crime of deceiving the Empress Dowager.

But my son is going to live and die with her.

If I lose my son,

my life will be meaningless.

Without my son...

prestige, luxury, wealth,

and everything else

would mean nothing to me.

Yuanbao,

as long as you're both alive and well,

as long as you're happy,

I'm willing to do anything for you.

I only have one favor to ask of you.

I beg of you...come home with me.

Don't ever...don't ever leave me again!

Mother, what are you doing? Please get up right away!

I won't get up until you promise to come home with me.

All right, Mother. I promise you.

I promise you that

I'll never let you down again from this moment on.

I'll never leave you again.

I won't make you cry again either.

- If I should break my promise... - Don't say anything else.

I'm already content that you're willing to come home with me.

Qilin! Mother has forgiven us. Why haven't you thanked her?

- Thank you, Mother. - There's no need for that.

I'm only doing this for my son.

Mother, let me help you up. Come.

[ General Jin Manor ]

Young Master and Young Mistress, you came back. Are you all right, Madam?

After I left home that day, I never thought that I could come home ever again.

I thought that I'd never be able to come home again.

I never expected your mother to keep this matter a secret for your sake.

What's with 'your mother' and 'my mother'? She is our mother.

My mother is willing to sacrifice everything for me.

What is the matter?

Nothing. Now that you have reunited with Mother,

I feel happy for both of you.

Qilin, Mother has done so much for us. We mustn't let her down again.

From now on, I hope that we can both be filial to Mother. We'll serve her together, all right?

I, Madam Jin, nee Liu, greet Empress Dowager.

I, Military Weapons Officer Jin Yuanbao and my wife, nee Jiang, greet Empress Dowager.

You may all rise now.

- Thank you, Empress Dowager. - Thank you, Empress Dowager.

My daughter-in-law, Xiaoxuan, has recently injured her leg. She can't kneel for a long time.

Your Highness, please pardon her.

Are you all right? Should I summon the Imperial Physician to have a look at it?

Your Highness, thank you very much for your concern. In fact, it is nothing serious.

I punished her to kneel in the Ancestral Hall for too long.

Have a seat.

- Thank you, Your Highness. - Thank you, Your Highness.

Jin Yuanbao, you caused a huge commotion by requesting a divorce.

I wonder why you wanted to break up the marriage that I bestowed upon you?

Tell me about it, and I'll make the decision for you.

The Jiangs are known for a very strict upbringing.

Every woman in the Jiang family is highly educated and well-mannered.

I've chosen Jiang Xiaoxuan for her virtue and grace.

Hence, I bestowed her to you.

Jiang Xiaoxuan must have made a huge mistake

to have made you want to divorce her.

What mistake has she made? You can be honest with me.

Replying to the Empress Dowager, Xiaoxuan hasn't done anything wrong.

It's my fault. I was young and impulsive.

I threw a tantrum and had an argument with Xiaoxuan.

Then I made the foolish decision to divorce her.

I beg Empress Dowager for forgiveness.

Yes, Empress Dowager. It was a petty argument,

but they made it into a huge ordeal.

You can have your arguments but as a couple, you should make up after your arguments.

That is the norm.

But for such trivial matters

you've stirred up such a huge commotion.

How is that appropriate?

Jin Yuanbao, you were the one who risked your life to beg for a cure for Xiaoxuan.

And yet you are also the one who wants to divorce Xiaoxuan?

How can you treat marriage as a child's game?

In the Imperial Court, there are some who would love to see the Jins and Jiangs turn on one another.

But then you've been foolish enough to bring pain to those dear to you and bring joy to your enemies.

Haven't you walked straight into their trap?

I know that I have done wrong.

Ruyue.

Present.

Although Crown Prince has already taken over the supervision of the nation,

nothing is for certain until he takes the throne.

Second Prince has been gaining power over the past few years. He has also won the favor of His Majesty.

His Majesty has been hesitant in deciding on his heir.

It might be a taboo to choose the younger son as the heir,

but it has happened in the past.

I'm already old. I'm feeling out of my depth.

I can't oversee the matters of my grandchildren anymore.

Second Prince is very cunning. He has his informants all over the Imperial Court.

If you should make any blunders that allow him to blackmail you,

I won't be able to save you.

Thank you for your teaching, Empress Dowager.

I know that you've been in charge of Jin Manor for years.

You have been very dutiful in running the Military Weapons Office.

But everyone gets old eventually.

You have to hand the family business over to the next generation.

Jin Yuanbao, you're the sole heir in the Jin family.

The future and hope of the Jin Family are now on your shoulders.

Your mother has high expectations for you.

I hope that you won't disappoint me again.

Thank you for your teaching, Your Highness. I will not let you down, Empress Dowager!

Jiang Xiaoxuan.

Present.

As the Prime Minister's daughter, now that you've married into the Jin family

you must abide by your virtues, obey your husband and raise children.

Should your actions violate the regulations of the Jin Family

you'll bring disgrace to Jiang Family,

but what's worse is that you'll ruin the bond between two families.

How is this a responsibility

that you can account for?

I...

I understand.

My beloved subjects, you may all rise.

- Thank you, Empress Dowager. - Thank you, Empress Dowager.

The crisis is over for now.

Judging from how Empress Dowager sounded, the situation is quite turbulent now.

When Empress Dowager mentioned the Second Prince,

I was suddenly aware of something.

What do you mean?

On Qilin's homecoming trip, we were pursued by assassins along the way.

I was also almost blown to bits at my inauguration at the Military Weapons Office.

We were then ambushed by assassins on our way back to Jin Manor.

I assume the person who wants me dead should be the Second Prince.

After all, he will be able to stir up trouble once I am dead.

But how could the Second Prince know your whereabouts like the back of his hand?

This is what worries me the most.

I suspect that Second Prince's spy is in our manor.

If that really is true, it would truly be horrific.

There's actually a spy working for Second Prince here in our manor?

Who could that be?

Someone who could know our whereabouts like the back of his hand...

there are only a few such people.

Don't worry, Mother. I will definitely seek him out.

Master, I've already assigned our men to the important units in the Military Weapons Office.

Even if Jin Yuanbao returns and takes hold of it again, he won't be able to be in full charge of the Military Weapons Office.

Good.

Master, have you really decided to do this?

Instead of waiting for Madam Jin to ask it back from me, I might as well do her a favor.

It will show that I have no desire in running the Military Weapons Office and diminish any doubts they might have about me.

Moreover, I'd like to see

how important this is to Madam Jin.

Aunt, I was only stepping in for the time being.

Since my cousin is now home, it's only right that he takes over.

Zhao'er really does know his own duties well.

Hand it over to Yuanbao then.

Of course.

Here you go, Young Master.

Last night when I was combing Mother's hair,

I saw that Mother's hair had all turned grey underneath.

Mother has aged a lot.

It's about time that I share the burden.

After all, I'm the sole heir in the Jin Family.

I can't be as willful as I used to be.

Cousin, from now on, I'll take over all the matters with regard to the Jin Manor.

If I should make any mistakes, please do offer me some suggestions.

This is great. What a great filial son.

Aunt, it seems that Yuanbao has finally matured.

This is Jin Family's biggest blessing.

It's great to see the both of you working hand in hand.

We must lose no time.

Wenzhao, why don't you do the handover now?

Tiny fishes... Come here and have a bite to eat.

Tiny fishes... Come here and have a bite to eat. Come on here.

Come here and have a bite to eat.

Brother, you are back.

What's made you so happy?

Naturally I'm very happy, Elder Brother - "Brother" Yuanbao came back!

You'd better remember that you only have one brother. His name is Liu Wenzhao.

Elder Brother, since "Brother" Yuanbao came back,

let's just lead our lives together happily?

Aunt has been so kind to us.

You should stop stirring up trouble.

Kind to us?

Yes, she is truly kind to us.

I've been in this Jin Manor for twenty years. I've slaved away and worked so hard.

But now what? They still dump me to the side.

She only cares about her son, Jin Yuanbao.

Elder Brother...

Elder Brother...

I know that you are not happy.

But "Brother" Yuanbao is Auntie's real son.

Aunt handed the Military Weapons Office and Jin Manor over to him. That was bound to happen sooner or later.

Aunt surely remembers the efforts you have put in.

Don't be angry anymore, Elder Brother.

Steward Liu. The village chief of Eastern Luhe County is here to visit Young Mistress. Should I let him in?

Let him in first. Notify Young Mistress later.

Yes.

This is...

I am Liu, the village chief of Eastern Luhe County.

I'm here to greet Master Liu.

Please don't be so polite. What is that?

These are all the gifts that the villagers have prepared.

This is top-quality homemade wine.

You are so thoughtful.

A while ago, Young Master and Young Mistress came to collect rent.

They burned all the accounting books.

They also waived our debt and rent.

They are both so kindhearted. The villagers are all very grateful.

They sent me here on their behalf to thank Young Master and Mistress.

Our Young Master is so kindhearted.

- You must be very grateful. - Of course!

And Young Mistress left us some money to get medication for Midwife Liu.

After taking medication, she is a lot better now.

She even told the villagers to thank Young Master and Mistress for her.

Midwife Liu? Who is Midwife Liu?

It's the midwife who delivered Young Master twenty years ago.

Why did Young Mistress seek her out?

I'm not too sure about that.

It's about something that happened twenty years ago.

Midwife Liu was still a bit insane then.

She couldn't remember anything. She didn't say much.

But now that she is feeling better, she says she remembers the past now.

She would like to talk to Young Mistress in person about it.

Cousin.

- Were you looking for me? - Yes.

The village chief of Eastern Luhe County is here to visit you.

How are you, Young Mistress?

- Have a chat. - Thank you, Cousin.

- Come. - Young Mistress.

Cousin, did you also grow up here in the Manor?

I grew up here with Young Master. Aunt was very kind to me. She's treated me very well.

You grew up with Yuanbao?

♫ If love is decreed by fate to cross our paths,♫

♫ why must it be so very painful?♫

♫ Has something covered your eyes,♫

♫ so you no longer cherish my efforts?♫

♫ that left me no longer caring about your helplessness?♫

♫ The right couple need not worry about the extremes.♫

♫ To concede to love is not to lose.♫

♫ Holding you firmly by the hand, I want to spend all my time with you.♫
