Singing song of love
Choir of the sky
Those lovebirds
I keep them with me
Like antique envelopes
Letters resting in there for years
None of them has been opened twice

Today I search them again
In hope to find that song
But what I get is the smell of our long-forgotten love
Still reminding me of our high school days
Oh, how good were they!
Reminiscences overwhelm and I don’t bother to sink —

Had I known this would happen
Oh, how would I?
I would’ve said how I felt about you —
That I loved you
Maybe you’d tell me I was stupid
And we would laugh it off, eventually
After staring at each other for maybe a minute

But that pleasure I’ll never get
For you’ve already traversed paths beyond death
In memories, you’ll always stay
And we will see each other, one day
Beyond the horizon, somewhere
Goodbye, and I will always love you, love.
