[English]

About missing you

Only realizing it today

It's okay, just let it go

Still, I should be more carefree

We all need to train ourselves

To assume new roles, each in our own way

Avoid

Getting caught in endless circles

To explore alone once again

While traveling across the ocean, I met

Countless islands and shores

Getting closer to each one

How many of you would I cherish

If things no longer align, I wish you find a safe harbor

At that moment, my hands trembled as I held on tightly, yet I still needed to let go

The flowers have already bloomed

But now they wither

Waiting for the sunlight again

Leaving is what I do

When you, the most important one, find your safe haven

Even if my heart burns with passionate words

I can't say them

Now, it's beyond my control

I wish you wouldn’t

be hurt by love or feelings anymore

You must learn to accept

The place has long become outdated

Friends

Willingly, they are closer to me than anyone else

Understand that possession is impossible

Or maybe years later,

We could reminisce in a restaurant with your children

If things no longer align, I wish you find a safe harbor

At that moment, my hands trembled as I held on tightly, yet I still needed to let go

The flowers have already bloomed

But now they wither

Waiting for the sunlight again

Leaving is what I do

When you, the most important one, find your safe haven

Even if my heart burns with passionate words

I can't say them

Now, it's beyond my control

I wish you wouldn’t

be hurt by love or feelings anymore

Gazing ahead at your future

Keep moving forward, don’t get stuck

Who’s heart is broken

Fool, it’s okay

If there are countless safe harbors in this world

I wish for you to choose the one that best suits you and go after it

Let him generously support you

No matter how many storms come, they can be blocked

I am the one watching over

When I feel like a forsaken safe harbor

I’ve also lived through with you

The most romantic and best times

Being loved and surviving through it

The love that once thrived

[Chinese]

關於想念

事到今天才發現

可免 就免

還是應該灑脫點

總需苦練

換個新身份各自的

避免

一再糾纏

獨自歷險一遍

遊歷大海中碰見

萬個海島和岸

一一靠近過

幾多個你會稀罕

假若不再合襯祝你覓到避風港

當下手震極了緊扣著過仍需放

繁花已盛放

枯萎之際

為等再有陽光

退出是我

當最重要的你覓到避風港

縱使心裡熱燙太浪漫句子

不能講

現已不由我

祝你別再

為愛或情受創

需懂得接受

位置早淪為過舊

好友

甘心他會比我更要親厚

明白不可佔有

或說多少年後

可跟你在某餐廳裡與你子女懷舊

假若不再合襯祝你覓到避風港

當下手震極了緊扣著過仍需放

繁花已盛放

枯萎之際

為等再有陽光

退出是我

當最重要的你覓到避風港

縱使心裡熱燙

太浪漫句子不能講

現已不由我

祝你別再

為愛或情受創

凝望你前行

前行吧別受了困

誰傷心

傻瓜不要緊

假若這世上有千個萬個避風港

祝願可以讓你選最合襯來奔往

由他慷慨為你

幾多風雨亦擋

目送者是我

當我像個荒廢掉了避風港

亦都跟你活過

最浪漫最好的時光

被看好的過

是愛亦存活過
