Numerous words of my devotion must have clung to your feet,
Stopping your retreat...
When you burnt the last letter of mine,
when you removed the flowers of my token from those scented pages,
you must have remembered the one who gave them, too...
-----------
It was necessary of your eyes to overflow in tears....
The love was necessary,
and likewise the separation too.
It was necessary that we both make wishes...
but then the tagic failing of them was necessary too...
It was necessary for
your eyes to overflow....
----------
Tell me do you remember
when you stole my heart ?
And turned the stolen thing into a Precious haven of God....
When you used to say that
your lips utter my name in every prayer...
But afraid of ___
love's immortality!
---------
Those words of belonging were but words,
Somewhere though it was necessary to drift away from them too....
It was necessary to break those promises...
For they taught us--
Love's true pang and beauty!
-----------
We have the same faces,
It's the same Me and--
The same You.
But I am lost,
and
So are you.
--------
I have ditched love,
I broke my own promises,
I was unbeliever,
and so I still am--;
For I am its traitor !
--------
Now
I have found my destination,
Yet still I am a traveller --
Like before--;
Waiting for your return...
---------
Removed from your heart's warmth ,
where I wandered and
Recided once--
But once I lost that home,
I realized--
that it was necessary to wander too...
For it is my penance ;
And my offering both--
To your altar -- my beloved Wei...
------------
You must know I ache --
for your kind eyes;
and kindred Spirit !
----------
Believe in the heart of hearts;
I will be Yours FOREVER and EVER----
In every BIRTH.

Note:--
This particular poem Lan Zhan sings to lament of his misgivings and lack of faith for his love after he loses his LOVE in Nevernight.
His soul is bruised and his heart shattered.
He cries in silent agony to no one but his Wei.

Hope the poem's purpose and meaning is clear now.
If still any confusion, ask me anytime. OK? 🙂

Take care.
Love and Kisses ❤
