Missing the Shadow

R. XF

In the twilight, I catch a glimpse of your hazy figure.

A flower quietly blooms in my heart.

Longing grows inch by inch in the moonlight.

It spreads out, filling the air with the fragrance of a foreign land.

Like a dream in the garden, I traverse mountains and seas.

Traveling through mountains and rivers, I head towards your direction.

The spring breeze brings you closer, coming from afar.

I embrace the spring breeze and meet your gentle gaze.

After countless times of looking into the distance, I realize what it means to be longing with all my heart.

On the other side of the sea, a pair of eyes is fixed on the hometown.

In the snow-covered mountains, can I still find the traces of my youth?

Under the bright moon in the forest, can my original aspiration still soar freely?

Deep in my soul, you gently linger in my dreams.

It intoxicates my prime years and the graceful verses.

On such a silent night, I only want to have you by my side.

Your arrival is my only hope.
