I haven’t experienced new loves,
That could make me forget the old ones.
I haven’t searched for your eyes,
That could lose myself in.
I’m afraid I’ll be carried away by longing,
Or that I won’t return…
Here I am in such a state of mind
Drinking but unable to sober up, I’m in limbo…
I can’t find a solution.
My heart is heavy.
There are so many breaths I couldn’t take,
So many desires I couldn’t live.
You’re standing on distant hills
Gazing from afar
What does it matter?
I’m in indescribable pain,
There’s no cure for my sorrow!
Yet prescriptions were written
Thousands of them: Letters upon letters
You didn’t come…
