Lyric

The scent of autumn beckons softly

Sweet osmanthus brushing my cheeks

Eyes peering through a kaleidoscope

Searching for you in the flickering colors

Orange leaves drifting at my feet

Replacing the unspoken words of goodbye

The park bench empty, no one sits

Only the worn sneakers whisper on the ground

Though time flows on, these feelings stay

Your laughing face in a distant corner of town

I thought I’d forgotten, yet the scent returns

The kaleidoscope of memories slowly spins

Autumn-colored kaleidoscope, swaying traces of you

Red and yellow, and the blue of my loneliness

Your scent is a trigger, my chest aches

I loved you, yet never said it aloud

Autumn kaleidoscope, tender and bittersweet

Holding these distant memories close to my heart

(Gently, gently, my heart dances)

(Sparkling fragments, still remember you)

I want to say your name

But dissolve it in the autumn wind alone

Alone on the cold park bench, the afternoon lingers

Tracing the photo in my pocket with my fingers

Like an old drama, tears remain hidden

In the modern streets, I pretend to smile

From the distant church, a bell softly rings

That promise we heard together back then

Floats on the wind, whispering in my ear

“Nothing stays the same, you know?”

Even though I can’t touch you, warmth returns

The memory of your hand lingers

As seasons turn, new pages are added

Unspoken thank yous accumulate in my chest

Autumn-colored kaleidoscope, endless patterns swirl

Your smile floats in the sunset sky

Your scent is a trigger, tears fall

Goodbyes too are proof of my love

Autumn kaleidoscope, vivid and bittersweet

Even now, it gently colors my heart

Autumn-colored kaleidoscope, not forever, yet

In that moment, the world melted away

Your scent is a trigger, deep in my chest

I open the closed door once more

Autumn kaleidoscope, memories that never fade

Becoming the light that guides my future

Not goodbye, a song of gratitude

Whispering to the deep blue sky

Closing the letter at the end of autumn
