The promised time for his arrival has already passed, and now the joyful and vibrant month of Fagan has arrived. This season, known for its beauty and festivities, only intensifies her loneliness and yearning for him to be by her side. It's a poignant expression of separation and anticipation during a time meant for togetherness.
