At the Hour of Parting

Until now... for so long, I have been unable to establish anyone else's presence in this heart — except my own soul.

It was on this very day that I first connected with you... I found you suddenly... beyond the crowds of so many people.

Like a fairy tale, my life too had transformed... with your arrival.

Initially, our conversations... though merely whimsical, later took the form of a firm spiritual surrender. I express my deepest gratitude to you...

In addressing the soul, there is no tui, tumi, apni... so, across the entirety of my heart, only you exist, or you shall remain. This one year has gathered within it — so many memories, moments of affection; your discipline, tenderness, care... all of this is very close to my soul... which I have treasured deep within my heart.

The bond between us seems to have grown stronger with each passing day.

I have spent so much of life wrestling with psychological conflicts... which I first tried to resolve through contact with you... I was able to change my mental position — able to empty myself.

Love, I realized, is nothing but the cage of a mysterious power.
I consider myself very fortunate... because I was able to love you. Though our communication may be temporarily severed... we remain inseparable from each other until death.

Take good care of yourself... may the one who loves you be able to nurture not just you, but the being within you, with great care.

You know, you have always remained in my prayers — this has never been said before.

I will return to you again in time — may that day come soon!

I believe...
If I have truly succeeded in touching your soul's story, then I am bound to meet you. I am not eager to embrace mere worldly happiness — rather, I am interested in spending the evening of life with you.

Usually I listen to no one. But I consider you my guru, because by touching you I was able to awaken my consciousness.

When you hold my hand, I feel that you alone are the one I love, you are the intimate witness to my feelings.

The day I saw your face so clearly in a dream, I understood — within the chamber of my soul's finest, purest feelings, only you dwell.

I know the path ahead will be terribly difficult for me. I am going through a mentally devastating time now...

I don't know how to find freedom from this.

At this moment, if I could have had someone beside me to hold close and cry with...
It feels as if... my small piece of the world will be destroyed in a few moments.

Bless me... for my sake.

At this moment, across my span of time... you were the one — for whom my feelings remain alive still.

Farewell.
