Unattainable Anguish

Beloved, these words are not for you. These thoughts are for myself alone. These are promises I make to myself. I have some final things to say to you. You could say I'm writing this to announce our parting—both of us.

I tried my utmost to preserve at least our friendship. But your silence has told me your opinion. Very well, I accept it.
What was meant to happen has happened. Oh heart, forget what has passed!

Dear heart, why do you brood so? Why do you seek to bring back the one who has gone?
I think you were only a dream in my life. And with the rising sun, my dream came to an end.

In these past few days I have thought about and decided upon many things I had never considered before. And since I have made my decision, nothing will make me turn back from this path.

My grieving heart will surely beat a little slower now.

My eyes will no longer burn bright as they once did.

Whatever may come, I will never call you again.

From now on I will do things I never imagined doing before.
I will never look back.

One day I will even forget to wonder what each beat of this heart is for.

Now I have begun to believe that you were merely a fragment of my dream-cloud, a fragment that melted away with the dawn of a new day.

Beloved, the heart that wanted you so desperately—how you wounded that very heart! The pain you gave me was truly more than I deserved.

When you are alone, think for a moment about how deeply you have hurt me! What kind of treatment I received from you!

No, I am not cursing you. But you will have to pay the price for each of my tears. This is my firm belief!

Yes, we are two different kinds of people. So it's better for both of us to stay apart.

I have decided to spend the rest of my life without you.
