The dust which shaped our footprints has blown away
The bridge that we crossed together has been knocked down
The present we spent together is already past
That moment we were together, was the last
However, still
My eyes search for the footprints
My legs lead me to the broken bridge
Even though,
The road we once walked together now lead to nowhere

The mirror we once looked at together has shattered to pieces
However, still
The dreams don't let me wake up from the sleep
Although you have long left your side of the bed
But,
I find you on the trail I travel
I hear you in the gusts of wind that pass through the mountains
I listen to you in the songs of birds
I see your smile in the brightly blooming flowers
Although you left me alone on the trail
I managed to travel and reach here
All alone.
