Originally titled Saying It to You with Irises
He knew nothing about love,
nor did he understand the world’s passionate pursuit of it.
To raise his sword for the cross was his lifelong calling.
Until an epic fate brought the two of them together.
From then on, faith became a shackle, the ocean became an abyss, and the starry sky became a symbol of longing,
yet he had gained the whole world.
Their love
was the lure of poppies, the light of the blind, the madness of a dark wind,
a requiem for the dead.
But it was also their earth-shattering devotion, their fearless resolve, their unwavering loyalty.
