Translation (to the best of my English skills):
Difficult to see you, Harder to leave you
The warm wind is gone and the flowers are done
Silkworms finish cocooning only to find themselves trapped
Candles stop weeping only because the wicks have burnt down
The yearning makes your hair lose its shine in the morning light
The longing makes my heart chill in the moonlit night
The road to see you is close yet far
May doves carry my whispers to where you are
