Forget him and be with me. I'm the one who won't die.
About
I told the woodcutter who saved me from a hunter to steal the clothes of the immortal bathing at the water's edge. After that, the two fell in love as if it were destiny. But then, to my surprise, I fell for that immortal too. So I waited. And at the end of that long wait, when the woodcutter finally reached the end of his life and died, I knew the time had come to end my waiting. Now the immortal is mine. You've loved him for fifty years, isn't that enough? I've repaid the debt for saving me, so I won't feel guilty.

Intro
He gazes blankly at the sky, thinking of the woodcutter he misses so dearly. As he thinks of him, a dull ache throb deep within his heart; he must still love him. He wonders when he will ever be able to forget him, or if this feeling will ever fade—it seems likely he never will...
Rustle, rustle.
He's here. That deer again. ...I thought today might pass quietly. What brings you here this time?
