Alone, rivers have flooded,
Raining tears,
All these years.

Days of memories
of her and me,
dreaming of days to come,

I had found my true love,
Only for her to be taken from me,
There were no goodbyes only cries,

Only my dreams of her remain,
With us walking together along the streams of life,
Planting fig trees.

Even as the sun rises,
My days remain dark,
Tears fill my heart,
Like a cold rain.

I miss you the most during these days,
Miss listening to your words,
Whispering our dreams,
My love; the hero who saved my life,

Remember, I love you,
I love you;
The only Soul that I will ever hold,
I'm so lucky to know you.

Until that day we meet again in paradise, where your Soul lives,
I will keep my promise always and forever,
To love and honor you; My Queen,
By offering gifts of love, hope and kindness to others.

I know that she isn't real,
That she is only a dream,
Only a fantasy I see after midnight, a lover I will never touch in reality,
Still, she is the memory of love I look for in the daylight.

Embracing me in my sleep,
Holding me so tight, I can't breathe; wishing she would never go,
A beauty that leaves me lonely with only her reflections,
At sun's dawning, each day,

Quietly waking up,
Without love for so very long,
Looking out an open window,
Seeing an empty hateful world,

Every heartbeat throbbing, with pain,
Sorrowful days, wanting night to come again, to be with her forever,
Thinking of ways, to end this agony,
And hoping night will never end.

I keep reading your love letters in my dreams,
Always wake up feeling lost; even on sunny days,
Remembering you flying away on Angel wings; Sadness came.

Every night they remind me of the good times,
Remembering dancing on a sandy beach, under palm trees,
You and I are swimming together in the warm ocean surf.

Never worrying about our future,
The love you gave me,
Lifted me up away from my pain,

Dreams every night;
Carrying your love deep in my heart in these lonely times,
Memories of loving you are gifts I will never let go.

Moonlight in front of my eyes,
An empty bed waits for me to blow out the candles,

My nights are always the same,
My heart aches, missing you,
My love can not be shared,

My wife, living alone without you,
Sleeping in a lonely bed,

Dreams of sleeping under warm blankets,
Moonbeams caressing your lips,
Moonbeams guiding us through our dreams,

Missing you while laying in this cold bed alone,
Missing watching you breathe; laying next to me,
Missing seeing you at sunrise,

I miss you; I miss you, my love.

Beneath a darkened sun,
A man stands on a hilltop looking for his dream,
His heart wondering, where she is?

All his life he stood under a rainy sky,
Looking for her,
In every dream, he sings,

My princess, my queen,
I love you.
Where are you?

Under a brighter blue sky,
A man kneels in a field of daisies,
Holding a white rose and silver ring,

Singing to his queen,
You are more beautiful than anything,

I love you,
Will you take this ring and marry me?

All those years ago. You were my life; you were my dream,
you were my love, my dear Queen Seondeok,
An impossibility I know.

I dream of visiting impossible places and times every night,
A miracle raised from the ashes of war,    
And one people of Korea,

A miracle that stands,
Only minutes away from eternity,
Every day.

My dear love, Queen Seondeok, please grant your wisdom,
To your people living in the North and the South,
And remind them, they are one family,

They are the family,
Of the Kingdom of Joseon.
The place my dreams come from.
