In the embrace of night, I sit alone on the balcony, drifting into deep slumber,
Pierced by bone-chilling cold, awakened by the dawn, my solitude broken asunder.
Food grows cold, tears scorching hot, bitter laughter accompanies sips of green tea,
The torment of yesteryears, a heartache that twists and wrings within me.
Finally, the sky gradually brightens, regrets dissipating in the air,
Free to follow my heart’s desires, no more madness, no more tears to bear.
There must be someone, a new and beautiful chapter to unfold,
Only the heavens know who can make my heart beat, passionate and bold.
Even if love, once again, causes me to fall, scars shall become my pride,
Who can make me embrace, who can make my heart once more wildly ride.
Even if tomorrow, cities crumble into dust and decay,
I’m willing to love until the final moment, casting away movie tickets and memories, letting pain fade away.
Changing bed sheets, trimming hair with a lightness in my stride,
Diminishing hatred, cleansing tears, freeing worries that reside.
