[English]

As the school bus turns and drives away, I say goodbye to this area

In that classroom, someone used to chat and tiptoe around me until we shared a necklace

Today I see classmates like couples when I look at the new campus

I look over from my usual angle

Thinking of your gentle words that soothe me

Remembering our first date, skating while holding hands

Splitting a popsicle as a keepsake

Replay these small moments countless times, never get tired

No matter how far, my love for you remains constant

Even across the distance

I keep you in my mind

During last year's holiday break

Who said love has no expiration date

Though we've left and started anew somewhere else

Even in a big campus, I can't get used to not having you here, loving just beside me

Counting from our classes

How can I be with you now?

Feels just like we're still close, not separated by distance

Counting the short breaks and dates after class again

Just enough to sit in a café and look through notes together

Replaying the memories of the school halls

Can't be loud during break times in the school anymore

You might secretly reminisce about the past

Sharing stories with me through the scenes

Thinking of summer, making surprises with your little hands

Capturing photos that bring back memories

These small fragments are hard to remember but will always stay in my heart

No matter how far, I still look back at the one I loved—thee

Even across the distance

I keep you in my mind

During last year's holiday break

Who said love has no expiration date

Though we've left and started anew somewhere else

Even in a big campus, I can't get used to not having you here, loving just beside me

Counting from our classes

How can I be with you now?

Feels just like the day I didn't transfer schools

On that day, even the tutoring class brought you to mind

When tomorrow comes and I haven’t met you

I wish for the weekend to play and fool around with you again

I won't forget

又擔心再愛亦難敵過遠離

任我花 心思也只想每秒維繫著你

相隔着距離

仍然將你記起

幻想過後假期

誰人說愛沒寫限期

日間雖分開 也未捨棄

你還主演我日記

太不慣現在沒你呵我在隔籬

從堂課數算起

現在怎麼陪你

就像那天未轉校

在這天 補習班都想起你

當明天未約到你

都想週末 和你似當天嬉戲

我不忘記

[Chinese]

車經過校舍轉彎駛去 告別這一區

那班房有過 誰曾互鬥嘴到共我分了對鏈墜

今天轉了校舍看到幾對同學像情侶

按習慣了的角度望過去

去默你温柔氹我字句

想到初約 溜冰牽過我指尖

分一筒雪糕做留念

小片段重播萬次 都不會厭

多遠仍投入愛你不變

即使相隔着距離

仍然將你記起

上年節日假期

誰人說愛沒寫限期

雖然人離開 到達新天地

校園再大 仍不慣現在沒你寵愛坐隔籬

從堂課數算起

現在怎麼陪你

就像仍舊未隔異地

還數着 課餘那約會再短

都夠同坐咖啡店看筆記

一面回味校舍中的憶記

小息怎再鬧哄也不可以同在校園裡

你或會暗中倒敘着過去

會伴我於情節裡共對

想到暑假 憑小手作送驚喜

即影留兩張亦回味

小片段難記住也始終銘記

多遠仍回望最愛的你

即使相隔着距離

仍然將你記起

上年節日假期

誰人說愛沒寫限期

雖然人離開 到達新天地

校園再大 仍不慣現在沒你寵愛坐隔籬

從堂課數算起

現在怎麼陪你

就像仍舊未隔異地

還數着 課餘那約會再短

都夠同坐咖啡店看筆記

只願延續校舍中的憶記

每幕幸福不想被忘記

又擔心再愛亦難敵過遠離

任我花 心思也只想每秒維繫著你

相隔着距離

仍然將你記起

幻想過後假期

誰人說愛沒寫限期

日間雖分開 也未捨棄

你還主演我日記

太不慣現在沒你呵我在隔籬

從堂課數算起

現在怎麼陪你

就像那天未轉校

在這天 補習班都想起你

當明天未約到你

都想週末 和你似當天嬉戲

我不忘記
