Sadly sorrow, the lights are very weak,

Surrounded by uncertain feelings,

Just like you and me, on that day before.

 

In such a bright and large room,

Like a traveler in the desert,

My heart is rending,

But I just pretend nothing happened.

 

How I wish we could be like before,

To pray for a thousand times,

To bury you in the bottom of my heart.

 

One decade ago,

You didn’t know me, and so didn’t I.

We just accompanied someone that we used to know,

and passed by the same street.

 

One decade on,

We say ‘How are you’, we’re good friends,

There exists everything but torrid romance,

We just became familiar strangers.

 

It took all my fortune being with you,

At that beautiful moment in my life,

I found it in the end,

We once had met.
