I have waited for a past that is long gone; I have loved for a previous life. Who could have imagined that this life would unfold just like the beginning—meeting you as we did before, gazing into your eyes with the same initial innocence. Forgetting the past did not stop the deep affection from returning; I fell in love with you deeply once more. Do you still remember those promises? Do you recall the days when I loved you? Although another cycle of life has passed, my memories remain as clear as yesterday. I remember the day we could no longer bear the scrutiny of society and chose to part ways. You left me with words I barely understood and walked away. Overwhelmed by grief and anger, I leaped from the bridge where we first met, leaving behind that bustling city. I can no longer clearly recall what happened afterward, nor do I know if you have been happy since then.
Life is full of helplessness, and existence is often cruel. Do not miss the opportunities that should be seized, and let go gracefully of what must be lost. Caring too much only diminishes the joy of life, while looking at things with detachment brings a sense of release and peace. 'Knowing warmth and cold within oneself' is a phrase that hurts the heart, yet it captures the true essence of life.
