O' how precious the moment we shared not so long ago.
Together we caught the rain, felt dawn, saw sunset glow.
It was so wonderful, so right, that you and I be together.
But duty called. O' how I wanted to stay with you forever.
The wind tossed your golden tresses the day I left.
You were standing there so beautiful yet so bereft.
That was the saddest of days, the day I had to depart.
For that which is beyond control would keep us apart.
Though I am home in that golden land in the west,
I think of you always, my love, daughter of the east.
My love, a woman so beautiful, and the woman I most adore.
I will count the days till I return and hold you once more.
