Chapter 20 (2/2)
Always resurface without warning,
The beautiful bloo the branch,
The noisy su of cicadas
You were always by my side,
Only separated by an eye’s length”
However, time passed quickly The years shi+fted Even if I returned to the saer be familiar And the place beside me would forever be empty
“Is this what yearning is?
It’s even s of poets
If this yearning could condense into an ocean,
There would be a shi+p,
To bring me to your side”
Even if everyone says you won’t return, I’ll stubbornly stay right here For fear that after I leave, you won’t be able to find me when you return
Ding Meng closed her eyes Like a songbird, she sang the last verse, “Is this what yearning is? It islove for you”
