A Farewell Song

I am sorry, that I have to leave
In such an early morning
So quiet around, only birds chirping
You must be asleep,
with a smile so naive

I am walking towards my destination
Wind chilling
Your laughter, your tears, your voice
Deeply engraved in my heart, so vivid

Promise me to not cry
My dearest, my sweetheart, my love
You are my most precious treasure
Though I will never see you again
I will cherish you with my heart
Forever and ever
