The yellow leaves gently falling

Keeping the rays of sunlight within

Endless memories, ceaseless longings

Holding onto moments of warmth...

A love so deep and profound

Will it ever, ever fade away?

Even if lovers went on separate paths

Even as the four seasons cycle around. 

Love is not about possession

No need to hold onto each other tightly

Love resembles a deep grace

Whether one’s love a sky far away

In this human realm

Loving someone unconditionally

When the leaf flies far away

It will still carry the warmth of Love ...
