The traces of you engraved in this season
Every morning I draw you
And I’ll follow and reminisce
I hope these emotions that bloomed in the beautiful and intense summer
Are not the past but the future

🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation
The lyrics trace love through the passing seasons, beginning with bright spring and passionate summer before drifting into autumn’s separation and winter’s loneliness. The speaker waits for a lost beloved, hoping they will not go too far away and that the memories once shared can become a future rather than only a past. Images of falling leaves, summer nights, sunlight, stars, and a home filled with two people turn longing into a patient vow, held by seasonal memory and enduring hope.
