Thinking if I could ever return,
many roads did I not travel.
I stayed a little long,
in this besieged prison of illusion,
and when I was about to stand,
I realized
it was too late.
I realized I got stuck
between a long waiting and non-remembrance.
My heart was too heavy to stand though
You have grown like a tree inside my heart.
The canvas of the past
and the background of the present,
blank and gray—
the oil painting is yet to be created.
And so, what new to ask for
in this slow-moving life?
A person like me,
at the end of the day,
the soft glow of the diffusing sun on his face,
would come to know how I am.
Because now, this tree who promised to stay with me,
has forgotten its soil—
I have seen the separation,
yet I was helpless, I couldn't hold you back.
I was afraid not of your return,
but if I'd be able to trust you again.
I'm afraid if I'd be able to get out of this trap ever
Because I know I'm still trapped
between my spring and your horizon—
a dark mystery.
