1. It has been so long since we last met. Yet even today, upon waking, you are the first thought that comes to me.
2. All my words that lack you are nothing but noise.
3. Because you are not beside me, the air grows heavy.
Living becomes difficult... breathing becomes difficult...
4. I listen carefully to every voice with this hope... that it might match yours!
5. Now I understand, all the wrongs of that day were yours.
Yet even today all my tenderness centers around you alone.
6. One day, will you sit face to face and share a cup of tea?
7. It has been many days since I last spoke your name. Yet except for your name alone, this heart speaks of nothing else.
8. You had left without giving me a chance to say goodbye.
9. The silence you left behind— even today, only that silence is what I hear.
10. The wounds of betrayal never completely heal.
11. If ever it happens that you cannot find shelter anywhere, that day, come to these arms of mine.
12. There is no love within me. What exists is merely the greed for peace.
13. Pursue not others, but yourself.
14. Because I respect your work, I will not give you the opportunity to disrespect mine.
15. The less work one has, the more gossip fills one's mouth.
16. Where I have gained so much, why does the heart weep so when I lose a little?
17. If you speak wrongly, I will get up and leave mid-conversation. Peace is most important to me.
18. What has not happened in one's life— managing it may well seem easy to them.
19. Only the one who loses understands. The one who doesn't lose thinks it's a burden.
20. To weep sometimes is not weakness— it takes courage.
