GettyImages I loved you: love, maybe
My soul is not completely extinguished;
But don’t let it bother you anymore.
I don't want to make you sad.

We are shy, we are jealous.
I loved you so sincerely, so tenderly,
How may God grant you to be different.

The sky will be covered with dust of stars,
And the branches will bend elastically.
I'll hear you in a thousand miles.
We echo,
We echo,
We are a long echo of each other. And I care about you, wherever you are,
It's not hard to touch your heart.
Love called us again.
We are tenderness,
We are tenderness.
We are each other's eternal tenderness. And even in the edge of the creeping darkness,
beyond the circle of death,
I know we won't break up with you.
We are memories.
We are memory.
We are each other's stellar memories.
