Two rival feelings – reunion and longing 

The feeling of longing is a stronger feeling than reunion, 

Although the burden is heavy, it is experienced by love, love. 

Perhaps their eyes remain on the roads for a lifetime, 

Unfortunate fate rules, I wonder why, why? 

That small photo between the book 

Secretly – secretly watching, the happiest moment of life. 

What is stolen from longing should definitely be considered true, 

The shades of a smile floating in the flood of emotions. 

The life of reunion does not matter 

whether it is long or short, 

The moment it ends, its previous sweetness disappears. 

The farewell of longing ends, does not cause pain, 

Erases the sorrow that is buried, 

the sadness in the heart.
