Many worries and pains are actually easy to resolve. Some things, if approached from a different perspective or with a shift in mindset, reveal an entirely new view. Therefore, when we face hardships and setbacks, we can regard temporary difficulties as the darkness before dawn. By observing and thinking positively, we find that reality is far less grim than imagined. Viewing the world from another angle makes life more beautiful.
You were once the most important passerby in my life, and remained a passerby because you never stayed. You once sowed seeds of joy in my life, but they never bloomed because you never watered or nurtured them. You left scars in my life, and they remain because you never offered gentle care. You brought a glimpse of light but immediately overshadowed it with darkness, and it grew dim because you never thought to illuminate my path.
The roses have bloomed again, as elegant and fragrant as that year. The dappled light beneath the bamboo fence drifts, carrying a deep melancholy. Closing my eyes, quietly lost in thought, in the depths of memory, your smile is sweeter than these flowers.
