On your way leaving a fleeting shadow
You came to let me know
You didn't come
I am not sure
If this your indifference
Was real or a mere show
In a flash
You passed this plot of grassland
Leaving for me some sorrow
Raindrops were dropping from the leaves
The woodlands were welling up with tears
In these wet weathers
Slowly you left
Leaving behind
The shining sun
Playing with the shadows.
