LIVED DREAM
Oh, my beloved,
Come back once again
And see the scars on my
Sobbing heart.
You left us desolate
With intense agony.
Oh, my beloved, come again
And see my raven heart,
Mourning in separation,
Mourning from dawn to dusk.
Oh, my beloved, come
As a raindrop and soothe my mind
That got lost in your thoughts,
With these flames of love
And the patience of madness
That you have forged in my soul.
Spring comes and flowers blossom,
And I think about you.
My eyes still looking for you,
My heart still wandering in despair.
I search for you here in autumn and winter,
In the depth of the river,
But cannot find you anywhere...
You vanished just like that...?
Still, I remember that day...
When you left us alone with miseries.
Oh, my beloved, come...
Come once again to these fields of daffodils...
Oh, my beloved,
I have forgotten a chapter.
This reminds me of your fiction.
Everything is the same except you.
Nothing has changed
Except for broken memories.
The time we spent together
Was it neither yours nor mine?
Vacant... and washed seashores of a distant dream...?
