I got a second chance to say goodbye.
This time I was not going to waste it.
My intention was not to make you cry,
But that was always a part of its spirit.
Seeing each other again is doubtful,
So I will hold this moment in my heart.
It is the nature of life to be cruel
As we eventually have to part.
But we will not leave on terms of regret
That we had not ended things very well,
And for that reason I’m happy to get
An opportunity for this farewell.
Though our life paths may never again cross,
I will never consider it a loss.
