Came across something incredible beautiful!

I told the whole world how much I love you.
But you frowned and left me in solitude.
Strolled to the riverside, picked up some pebbles.
I am too old to linger for you.
It's been so long since I saw you.
Spring changes into Summer, flowers flourishing.
What a waste of merriment if I'm without you.
