YEARNING FOR YOU
Six years of stars and frost have passed,
We meet again by the tea stall in the old alley.
I want so badly to say: I miss you,
Your face is etched in my heartbeat, never faded.
I want so badly to say: I still love you,
Even though I’ve long known I never had a place in your heart.
So I only smile softly,
Pressing the surging love deep into my eyes, daring not speak,
Afraid that if I say a word, I’ll meet your old coldness again,
Afraid all the feelings I’ve hidden for six years will be in vain once more.
He speaks, his voice wrapped in unhidden joy:
“Long time no see, I’m so happy to see you again.”
Your smile still makes my heart skip a beat, just like before.
I want so badly to say: I miss you so much,
I regret not saying those words of affection back then.
You have always had a place in my heart,
One no one can fill, one no one can ever replace.
Yet the words die on my tongue, swallowed back quietly.
Maybe it’s too late now,
Maybe I’m no longer the moon that can light up your world.
So I only smile back at you,
Hiding all the yearning in my eyes, soft and unspoken.
In the end, we look at each other and say softly:
“Long time no see, may you live well and happy.”
Perhaps, to wish you happiness with someone else,
Is the best gift I can ever give you...🌘✨ 02092026 ©LanZhan 安娜·梅·德拉·奇纳
