Falling, falling, rain.
Never ending rain,
Drowning flowers,

Drowning love,
Watering my sorrow,
Sorrow growing, like, crabgrass,

Helpless to stop the flood,

Alone,

Waiting for clear skies, and the sunshine
Will love ever grow again?

Across the vast ocean of space and time,
In a dream of my home,
From so very long ago.

Unforgettable memories flash before my Soul,
Afraid, many times thinking,
I will forget you.

Still, with eyes wide open,
I see you in the Eastern sky at dawn,
Unable to forget a dream.

Memories of you,
Like vivid paintings,
Of cherry blossoms floating on a silver mirrored pond,

Looking at the paintings,
Unable to dry the tears,


Still,


I endure this life because of you,

An unforgettable dream.

On our paths that are given to us by Fate,
As our Souls move through time eagerly,

No one looks at each other anymore,
Living in our worlds,
Souls simply drifting away,

Looked up for a moment,

Saw her passing,
Walking away,
Covered in a white dress,

Walking towards forever,
Still a stranger,
She's leaving,

Each step she takes,
Leaves me with heartache,

Where are you going?
Come back to me again.

A pretty place,
A beautiful time,

A place where Sakura grows.
A time of peace,

You and I, embrace;

Feeling the warmth of dawn's new sunshine,
The touch of a fresh spring breeze,  
Where each breath brings us even closer.

I'm standing here holding on tight,
Am I dreaming with my eyes open?

Take my hand,
Come with me.

Let's travel through the doorways of our dreams,
To an impossible place,
And live and love in an impossible time.

Be my dream forever and a day.

It's been raining these spring days incessantly,
No sunrise for so long,

My yearning heart rises each day.

A cold breeze whispers your name.

The day ascends on a great bluebirds wing.

Your sweet voice calms me,
That I carry into the twilight of rain beams,
And hold next to my ear.

You fill me with hope.
Your words dry my wet tears,

As my hand touches my neck,
It reminds me of your warm sunshine.

In the hushed day, I listen for the last drop of rain.

Here I am from a far off place,
Looking at your reflections in my dreams,

Looking at you through snowy cherry blossom trees,
Seeing your bright, happy face,
From a distant time and place,

Listening to you cheerful songs,
I see a smiling princess,

I miss you when I'm awake,
I wish for you every day,

My love for you will never end,

My only love,
Do you wish for me too?
Do you see me standing beside you?

I think of you every day,
That I am holding on tight to your hand,
I want to keep you close to my heart,

I think of you every day,
I will wish for you for eternity.

My love for you will never disappear,
As long as the moon hangs in the night sky,

Each full moon,
Reminds me of you,

Dancing on a white sandy beach,
Beneath, the shining spring moon,

With your shiny black hair,
Brushed by a warm ocean breeze,

An Angel in white,
Trying to catch each wave,
With your bare feet,

In this mortal world,
You're the Angel I've waited for a thousand years,
To see dancing in the moonlight.
