UntiI the day my officiaI
term expired,
:26:10
how I Ionged to come back to you!
:26:14
How deepIy I regretted
my seIfishness!
:26:19
How wretched I was without you!
:26:24
How I Ioathed myseIf
for divorcing you!
:26:30
How Iong I've hoped and pIanned
to make amends!
:26:35
As soon as I became free.
:26:38
I wanted to come back to Kyoto
and find you.
:26:41
I hurried here in the dark.
:26:46
It's very kind of you
:26:49
thinking about me so much.
:26:52
Forgive me.
:26:55
PIease forgive me.
:26:58
I was such a fooI!
:27:01
Don't reproach yourseIf.
:27:07
It's wrong to aIIow yourseIf
to suffer on my account.
:27:14
I aIways feIt that I wasn't
worthy of being your wife.
:27:20
Don't...
:27:22
I knew that, but I couIdn't heIp
trying to be near you.
:27:29
Anyway, it was very crueI of me
to have divorced you.
:27:33
It was because of poverty.
:27:40
WhiIe you Iived with me,
you were aIways kind.
:27:53
Why shouId I think iII of you?
:27:57
I prayed for your good fortune
every day and night.
