Why should I be bitter
About someone who was
A complete stranger
Until a certain moment
In a day that has passed.
~ Saigyo
The moon, alone,
Taunts me from the heavens
With memories of you;
Should you feel the same, then
Our hearts would be as one
~ Saigyo
Should I blame the moon
For bringing forth this sadness,
As if it pictured grief?
Lifting up my troubled face,
I regard it through my tears
