drunk on love

Footsteps echo through the empty nighttime street, carrying remnants of love in bittersweet memories. The day we strolled side by side is now a distant past, with only me lost in its reverie. Your shadow is cast by the crescent moon above. Despite your absence, my heart holds onto affection. Even though your love was deceitful, my feelings endure. Watching autumn leaves drift to the ground, I sense your impending departure. Who understands the bitterness of this love? Love that I know has no future. Waves erase all traces, while dry leaves cover the ground. Why do we wish for the leaves to remain? I long for your love to fade away from memory. Who comprehends the bitterness of this love? Love that I recognize as a charade, yet my heart remains fervent. Attempting to erase thoughts of you, I question the passing of time under the moonlight. Slowly vanishing into the mist, the night persists in its melancholy state.
