Together, we walked along these roads
In the damp and the snow
With your arm across my shoulders,
My arm around your waist,
And our love burning fiercely;
We kept the cold at bay.
Alone, I walked along these roads,
As you embarked upon a new adventure
And I was left here;
Caught between the misery of being separated from you
And the joy of your fresh start and new life;
I earnestly await our next reunion.
Alone, again, I walk along these roads,
Along these roads, where we laughed and played;
In these fields, where we shared secrets and goals;
On these paths, where we hiked for hours;
In these woods, where we passionately embraced.
Your memory is everywhere.
I feel your lingering presence,
Which is swept away upon the wind,
So that I am left with only your ominous absence
And the frigidness of our extinguished love.
