Oh and there is probably more in there I forgot!

When I gathered flowers
For my girl
From the top of the plum tree
The lower branches
Drenched me with dew.
-Kakinomoto no Hitomaro

In the empty mountains
The leaves of bamboo grass
rustle in the wind
I think of a girl
Who is not here.

- Kakinomoto no Hitomaro

That’s what she said…
