i loved you
when the sun
still rose in the west,
when caterpillars
hadn't grown
their wings yet.
i loved you
in cherry lips—
in almond kiss,
in dreamy eyes,
in youthful bliss.
now, my distant heart
could only love you
in heavy mist,
in forlorn might,
in fleeing light,
in vague hindsight—
of what was right.

your happiness over mine...
back then and until now.
but tomorrow...
when the sun rises
in the east.
i'll try to find happiness
in its heat. and forget that
i risked almost everything.
so i can burn in yours.

If I had stoped doubting
And just kept myself contented
With what you were willing to offer
Would we have not
Lost it all?
If I did not try too hard
And cried as I yearned for you
In times we were apart
Would you have stayed
In my trembling arms?

"I hope you someday
Find happiness
In the arms of another,"
I whispered to him
"One day,
I surely will,"
He replied
And so I smiled
And turned around,
"I hope you someday
Find happiness
In the arms of another,"
I whispered again—
But now to myself

I loved your laugh
As much as I loved
The sound of the rain.
Now that you're gone,
All my love goes
With every raindrop
Falling on the ground.
But still...
Each and every fall of it
Echoes your laughter.

I wonder if
we met again
in this life
because what we had
in the previous one
was not enough,
or just because
I wished for this
knowing that
we won't end up
t o g e t h e r
in the end anyway.

You deserve the love
That will dance with you
In a garden full of bloomed tulips
And in a garden of dead roses
You deserve someone
Who'll drink whiskey with you
Even under a starless night
When you got yourself defeated

the pain must be
becoming more and more
unbearable each day,
and we have to continue
walking away from each other
when all we ever wanted
was to run
towards each other's arms.
so how about
we do this, my love?
how about we go on
with our day,
pretend we're going
to see each other
the very next day,
and face things
with excitement today?
how about we go on
with our breakfast, lunch,
dinner, and snacks in between,
and pretend we're going
to dine together tomorrow?
how about we sleep tonight
without crying our eyes out
to the memories of us
and pretend that tomorrow,
when the sun rises from the east,
we'll wake up
to see ourselves
next to each other?
how about we repeat
being hopeful every day,
looking forward
for the tomorrow
that holds you and I
in one page,
until we can
no longer remember
what we are ridiculously
holding onto
and we're just truly happy
with our lives
without each other?

I hope you realize
how beautiful
and timeless
is the now.
You shouldn't dwell
too much
on tomorrow
and yesterday.
I hope you know
that today
is eternal.
Live, gracefully so.
There is no
stopping to the
flow of time
inside you.

but aren't we all
sad and miserable—
trying to live life
as if we know how?
until when
do we really have
to put on an act
that we're just fine?
how pitiful we are
(you're rather strong)
struggling desperately
to survive—
trying not to peek
at the easy way out.
(i'm proud of you)
