Notes:

• notice i don't use that much identifier(you/i)? that's because 1-i'm not sure cuz it's not indicated in the lyrics...lol...n 2. i feel that i've worded it in the way that can be understood even without mentioning directly you or i...did i?
• 'my beloved chest' - lmao. now, please take note that i'm almost completely sure he's not referring to his own chest narcisistically so don't get confused on that part...i didn't put apostrophe after beloved cuz even without it, it still isn't grammatically wrong...the chest that he loved dearly...uhhh...get it? okay...awkward....but i'm sure the lyrics weren't meant in any awkward crude way but more towards 'romantic'...(i'm starting to like this lyricist's language/style btw...after working on this n previous song...some of his/her lyrics style is somewhat jungmin-ish so...it matches though it's still difficult for me) i'm sure if you see the 'with just the warmth'...it can be brought back to the beloved chest part n be connected.
  EDIT : i think...it could also possibly be 'sweetheart' since itoshi(dear/beloved) and mune (chest but could also be referred to as heart) but that would be my own making up...lol...i still think it's the more literal meaning.
• 'why are we still together' - purposely not having question mark cuz i don't think he's really asking though there's the word why in there. it's just opening for the speech he's about to make.
• this part: Ah, even though it's just a dream / Ah, even so it's still good / Ah, with this sadness / I'll just hold you close - pretty sure he's referring to the previous verse/stanza when talking about 'forgetting tenderness / passing over each other' as in, those were just a sad dream he had...no guarantee but that's my understanding of it...so, the sadness is the sadness of the dream n nuh-uh...he'd never do that...never(in the lyrics i mean lol)...it's kinda...mushy context...but i try to keep the cheesiness n profoundness bcuz hey, i write fanfics...i should at least try to make the trans as poetic as the lyricst intended...xD
• ok...i'm just tired now...don't know how i found the strength to do this...probly...the power of love? lol. cheesy pun intended. haa. if still have any questions for any parts/confusion...you know you can just ask...i'd be glad to answer if i can.
• ps: don't you love his voice projection n way of pronouncing/stressing words though...? it feels that it carries a lil more weight...n idk how that's even possible since he's already always singing awesomely but everytime..it feels upgraded...
