Autumn wind, blows on my lost synopsis of love.

My love story is over as summer has gone. My diary filled in many plans for dates to go to a movie, to go for a drive, or to have a dinner together became in blank when I broke up with my lover. It likes a story does not continue from that point. It is about a time to blow lonely autumn wind in town. I felt the autumn wind started blowing in my heart from the day of separation.

Full moon above you, pretend unnoticed.

It was the harvest moon night. We were sitting face to face and enjoying our chat. During the chat, I happened to move my eyes from him to the night sky. I found there was a big round full moon behind him. Full moon looked like a face of man. Somehow, I started feeling that the moon was looking us furtively and I became to feel fidgety. However, he did not notice it at all and pretended unnoticed.

Pick some nuts, while her lover waits.

A girl loves to look for a four leafed clover and pick up some nuts. She was absorbed in picking up nuts while her lover waits and kept him waiting. She might take advantage of his gentleness. He might looked at an innocent girl who enjoyed picking up nuts as thinking tenderly of her. A girl is picking up nuts and a boy is waiting. There is a relationship of mutual trust between them.

Omitting formalities, my letter continus with etc., long autumn night.

One autumn night, I wrote a letter to my lover. I started writing a word omitting formalities then the things I wanted to write came out one after another in my mind. The letter addressed to lover always become longer than usual. Also, it is a long autumn night. I have enough time to write using fully night so it seems the letter is never concluded.

[the word expressing season] long autumn night
[season] autumn
