It was love, surely it was love...

It was love,

surely it was love,

I can say that with certainty.

Now it’s just a relationship,

whether love still remains, I don’t know.

The foundation has been washed away

in the flow of time,

only the house remains.

She called me to meet,

but I didn’t go.

Something happened in between...

My heart wishes the bond would stay,

but without meeting again.

When you go far away,

you leave behind so much.

Everything remains the same,

only distant from you.

Not everything will go as you wish.

To tell the truth,

nothing will go as you wish.

You’ll have many paths before you,

and you’ll choose one among them.

The other paths will close for you

at that very moment.

And on those paths will remain

the friends with whom you once walked—

the ones whose paths you didn’t choose.

Don’t be sad,

that’s how life is.

You cannot truly be unhappy,

for your sorrow is much smaller

than the joy you found

in choosing your own path... 🌿
