now you're leaving me

now you’re leaving me

leaves falling, like tears

even the trees are saddened

now you’re leaving me

morning dew, like tears
the grass can’t hide its sorrow

now you’re leaving me

rose petals, like tears

fall, scattered over the ground

now you’re leaving me

sun sets, rise no more

again for me, darkness stays

now you have left me
