Look at how the Azaleas bloom,
Bursting with color, brimming with confidence,
I wish you could finally see you,
Perfect with all the scratches, perfect with all the dents

Listen to the cicadas' chorus,
Hear them sing, with pride, with longing,
Maybe you would finally hear us,
We'll leave our conversations hanging

Feel the dried autumn leaves,
Let them cruise against your palm,
Stay, there's no reason to leave,
Experience beauty under the light of the setting sun

When winter finally comes around,
You'll find you're not lonely anymore,
You'll discover your strength, your beauty,
and you have friends with open doors
