Heidi

As always, I wait for you at the park as the sun sinks
Where you’d lightly take my muddied hands in yours

Your habitual kindness was the only thing I could count on
As it recurred, I’d close my eyes anticipating the next day
Even now, I remember the evening glow casting light on our shadows

Nostalgically remembering you, my tears begin to overflow
While I hum that song of yours I loved

Amidst these many briskly passing days,
I can’t even remember the warmth from those days anymore
But now, the evening glow casts light on only one shadow

Nostalgically remembering you, my tears begin to overflow
While I hum that song of yours I loved

Returning home alone to my town where the sun’s half sunk
I suddenly recall your kind, retreating figure
I long for the evening glow to cast light on both our shadows

Nostalgically remembering you, my tears begin to overflow
While I hum that song of yours I loved

To you, whom I’ve been separated so distantly from
A lullaby of those memories I’ll cherish forever
