Treading Towards a Distant Land

In the shadows of the night I return holding a lonely love
Not knowing where you are headed this summer
My dear, where are you headed this winter?
Those old poems I’ve written… for you are now left with sorrow
Those old poems I’ve written… for you are now left with pain
Holding onto an endless cold, I search for that long-lost love
Autumn leaves fall, swaying towards somewhere
I thought that you had returned this winter…
The river stream from the old days continues to drift…
There’s only the feeling of waiting left within me
I call for you through sadness: “My dear, are you returning here?”
I searched but couldn’t see… your footsteps around here
That river stream continues to flow; I’m still sitting here in loneliness
And you have left without ever turning back
While I’m still frozen for years, treading towards a distant land.
