Farewell
Why must you leave me my friend?
I know separation does not mean the end,
and maybe when the west wind tall grasses bend,
you will remember me.
Don't mind my sad tears, dear companion.
It's not that I think you intend to forget...
and maybe when Zephyr sings through the canyon,
will you remember me?
I do not love a painful leavetaking,
and I promise you won't see how my heart is breaking.
But by the west wind I'll send a message so true,
listen, he'll whisper...
"I remember you."
