Her beauty fades, and sorrow stirs once more with each turn of the wheel.
Alone in a small tower, she wonders whom she'll meet again.
The years of youth pass in a rush; our vows were never meant to last.
Only one remains, waiting alone, waiting in vain for a thousand years.
A lonely shadow trembles.
Snow falls across a thousand miles.
Chasing the wind, swift and bright.
An old friend can never be as they once were.
With all her heart, she pours out her love.
The passing years are bleak and desolate.
Longing falls, scattered and forlorn.
She sighs at all the wasted years.
A lingering glance, a love unchanged.
A bond forged in dust across a thousand years,
vanishing like water, like smoke.
There is too much sorrow to put into words,
through lifetimes of joy, sorrow, parting, and reunion.
Longing returns in the cycle of rebirth.
She spends her whole life in pursuit of the one she loves.
