Traces
Lingering(1), lingering,
After the early summer rain
Undried(1) remains(5) of tears.
Unerasable, unerasable,
My beloved's(2) shadow floats in the dark night.
Walking along the river banks at sunset,
With you, we lead each other along with just our smiles.
What shall we do for dinner tonight?
It was such a small, a very small and humble happiness.
Though you have died, you live submerged in my heart,(3)
I could love someone else, but there is no one but you.
No matter how many seasons I struggle through,
I'm afraid of letting go, of letting it disappear.
I gaze at violets.
What a pretty flower,
But I know that one day it will wilt.
It is evening,
If I touch the crimson waters,(4)
There remains the two of us on the liquid's surface.
Shadows heap on top of each other,
I'm afraid of being alone(6)
Realizing it too late,
There is only one person on the liquid's surface.
The seed planted in my heart on that day,
Buds sprouted twenty days after,
In appearance and form it is different,
But my love is unchanged,
That gentle light.
