A Season without You

For My Sister- I know you will find this person someday.

If you weren't here with me in the Fall,
the breeze would blow my warmth away...
A warm fire could never equal up,
to the warmth you give me...

If you weren't here with me in the Spring,
My sense of smell would die...
I would not be able to smell,
smell the scent of the red roses,
almost as wonderful as your hair...

If you weren't with me in the Winter,
my heart would be cold as the snow...
Nothing would shine or glow,
like your gorgeous eyes that light up my life...

If you weren't here with me in the Summer,
the bright Sun would mean nothing to me...
nothing without your precious smile...

Please don't leave me,
don't leave me so I have to say...
I spent a season without you.

Yu Nakayama
