[Verse 1]
It was a promise we made ten years ago. I called my boyfriend for the first time in a long time. “Hello, it’s been a while,” I said. I asked, “Do you remember our promise from ten years ago?”
[Pre-Chorus 1]
“Of course I remember,” he replied. “I’ve never forgotten it for a moment.”
[Chorus 1]
“Summer seascape: the sky is so high that it seems to stretch into the distance. The white sand reflects the sunlight, and the waves crash on the shore. The shoreline stretches on forever—this all creates an open and romantic place,” he sang.
[Verse 2]
“What’s that song?” I asked. “Your mother composed the melody for a scenario you wrote,” he replied. “So you remember the date, time, and place we agreed to meet, right?” I asked.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
“Of course I remember,” he answered. “I’ve never forgotten it for a moment.”
[Chorus 2]
“On the beach, my boyfriend and I are running: I’m happily running along the shore in my bathing suit, and my boyfriend, also in a swimsuit, is chasing me. To be caught, to collapse: Even in my dreams, his smile is just for me. Just before I knew it, he caught me, and we tumbled down by the water’s edge,” he sang.

[Verse 3]
There was his smile, the same as that day. “This beach is just as beautiful as your scenario,” he said. “I’ve made lunch, so let’s eat together!” I replied as I opened my lunch box in the shade of a nearby tree.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
“Did you cook the roast beef in that lunchbox?” he asked. “Of course,” I answered.
[Chorus 3]
I’m happily running along the shore in my bathing suit, and my boyfriend, also in a swimsuit, is chasing me. He smiles for me in my dreams, too. Just before I knew it, he caught me, and we both collapsed by the water’s edge. He gently woke me up and whispered in my ear, ‘Are you okay?’
[Final Chorus]
He was breathing heavily after just running, his face close to mine, and my heart was pounding uncontrollably. “Please marry me,” he proposed. “I would be happy to accept,” I replied. “So, did my mother get what she wanted after all?” I asked. “Yes, that’s right,” we shouted in unison.
