晚年

You use your cloudy vision to see through the reality of the world

You use your deaf ears to listen to the cough coming from the bed next to you

Amnesia is a step away from your unburdened being, dissatisfied by the vanishing of the past from your memory

You can depart with ease even if nobody is by your side, but it sounds solemn and heavy saying this

This is not purely fiction. This is not a short story either.

While we’re caught up in smiling, someone has run out of tears

[01:24.654]Just like you, we can’t avoid approaching the days

[01:29.783]When we’re getting on in years

[01:35.226]Just like you, we loathe bidding farewell

[01:39.575]But we can only learn to keep saying goodbye

[01:45.316]Just like you, we were once fearless

[01:50.206]Why do we neglect things that happen and change

[01:55.479]Just like you, we have blood and tears

[02:00.487]So we understand your lonesomeness calls for someone’s company

Gazing at the familiar face in the photo, embraced in a stranger’s love

Holding your wrinkled hands, moved by the sense of life

If God opens up heaven’s door, perhaps wait for a moment

Give the world a little more pondering moment, think about what else we can do

This is not another Earth, this is not an urban legend either

Apathetic people are deemed accomplices, so don’t refrain from spreading kindness

Even if happiness does not arrive in time, don't be disheartened

We'll go through old age together, with you
