Isn't it funny...
That with just one look...
You'll fall in love...
And you'll love so true...
But does he ever know you exist?

moment
all you get is a moment.
if you are lucky.
a moment, and you continue your life, never seeing the big picture.
you get these moments in your life,
you get enough to last you your entire life.
tiny moments,
cute and nostalgic at times,
spread far and wide,
few and far in between.
you get enough that you think that a moment is forever.
but it never is.
the moment goes,
it fades,
it dies.
like a fire.
burning strong and powerful,
reduced to ashes and smoke the next day.
the heart is such an organ of fire.
it takes over your entire being.
all your emotions are out in the open,
exposed,
you show too much of yourself,
you're vulnerable,
you're an open book,
anyone can get to you.
and, at the most perfect moment in your entire life,
someone does.
inside, and under and beneath everything that you took for granted,
everything that you forgot you had and knew about yourself and life and others,
this someone comes in and gets to you.
he gets to you and you are never the same.
he turns your world inside out,
upside down,
round and round.
he comes in and settles in.
takes his shoes off,
props his feet up on the coffee table,
walks around the house half-naked.
he settles in.
cooking meals,
sharing a pint of ice cream,
watching the sunrise.
he walks in and comes into your life and you are never the same.
ever.
there's your moment.
lived so complete and true at one point,
but destined to be lost in time,
slowly fading from your memory,
dying bit by bit,
your memories,
you,
gone,
forever.
he comes in and destroys your entire world.
what you are is a past tense.
you spend years building this routine,
this pattern,
this life of yours.
you spend years in comfort,
knowing exactly what to expect from each day that passes.
you work,
you eat,
you go home.
For a while you begin to think that that's enough to live.
you spend years putting everything in place.
your furniture,
your clothes,
your car.
years upon years upon years of hard work,
making sure that everything goes according to plan.
your plan.
you spend years feeling safe and secure.
you're thinking,
nothing can break this.
nothing can destroy what I've built around me.
castle.
fortress.
sanctuary.
then it happens.
a moment.
one moment.
the moment.
one beautiful person walks into the same office you're in,
or the same bar or the same elevator.
one moment ago,
you had a perfect life.
then this person,
this one little person,
walks in with a smile and his eyes on you and you can't move.
you can't speak.
your chest tightens.
you begin to sweat.
you have uncontrollable fevers,
your mouth becomes dry.
your world that you spent years and years and years fixing and building and protecting,
gone in one moment.
and nothing is ever,
ever the same.

first love
"You will never forget your first love. That's what makes it so
special. You love so hard, so deeply, and so intensely because you
don't know any different. It's the best until it is over. Then you
hurt like you've never been hurt before. Eventually you love again,
but you love differently. You will love more carefully, more
cautiously. Just know that there is so much more love waiting for
you, but there will always only be one first."

I loved you more than I've imagined
我比想像中爱你
I loved you more than I've imagined
I loved you more than I've imagined
飞得越远越看不见
fei de yue yuan yue kan bu jian
The further it flies, the more it can’t be seen
你阳光下灿烂的笑脸

Your smiling face under the sun
在天和海之间那条界线
zai tian he hai zhi jian na tiao jie xian
Over the line between the sky and the sea
慢慢的走远
man man de zou yuan
Walking away slowly
你曾经是我的地平线
ni ceng jing shi wo de di ping xian
You were once my horizon
你有没有一点想念
ni you mei you yi dian xiang nian
Have you had any reminiscence
我们一起去年的夏天
wo men yi qi qu nian de xia tian
Last summer when we were together
有种爱的感觉

Having the feeling of love
在心里面
zai xin li mian
In the heart
那么的强烈
na me de qiang lie
That is so strong
而这一切
er zhe yi qie
And everything
好像只是昨天
hao xiang zhi shi zuo tian
Seemed to be just yesterday
我才发现我比想像中爱你
wo cai fa xian wo bi xiang xiang zhong ai ni
Then I realised I loved you more than I’ve imagined
只是一时不小心错过了你
zhi shi yi shi bu xiao xin cu guo le ni
It is only accidental that I miss you [*miss as in fail to notice, giving up the chance]
每当夜深人静
mei dang ye sheng ren jing
Everytime I’m alone in the night
我诚实的分析我自己
wo cheng shi de fen xi wo zi ji
I analysed myself honestly
还是不可否认地
hai shi bu ke fou ren de
That I still can’t deny
我比想像中爱你
wo bi xiang xiang zhong ai ni
I loved you more than I’ve imagined
浪花掠过沙滩边境 (海风就像你的呼吸)
lang hua lue guo sha tan bian jing (hai feng jiu xiang ni de hu xi)
The waves crashing towards the edge of the beach (The sea breeze is just like your breath)
我又看见我们的脚印 (那曾是回忆的痕迹)
wo you kan jian wo men de jiao yin (na ceng shi hui yi de hen ji)
I saw our footprints again (That was the track of my memory)
如果遇见幸福的机率要千万之一
ru guo yu jian xing fu de ji luu yao qian wan zhi yi
If the chance of meeting my happiness is one in a million
不顾一切
bu gu yi qie
I’ll not bother about anything
也要找回你
ye yao zhao hui ni
To get you back
我才发现我比想像中爱你
wo cai fa xian wo bi xiang xiang zhong ai ni
Then I realised I loved you more than I’ve imagined
只是一时不小心错过了你
zhi shi yi shi bu xiao xin cu guo le ni
It is only accidental that I miss you
每当夜深人静
mei dang ye sheng ren jing
Everytime I’m alone in the night
我诚实的分析我自己
wo cheng shi de fen xi wo zi ji
I analysed myself honestly
总会从梦中惊醒
zong hui cong meng zhong jing xing
Always waking up startled from my dream
还是不可否认地
hai shi bu ke fou ren de
That I still can’t deny
我比想像中爱你
wo bi xiang xiang zhong ai ni
I loved you more than I’ve imagined
终於发现我比想像中爱你
zhong yu fa xian wo bi xiang xiang zhong ai ni
Finally realised that I loved you more than I've imagined
只是一时不小心错过了你
zhi shi yi shi bu xiao xin cu guo le ni
It is only accidental that I miss you
每当夜深人静

Everytime I’m alone in the night
我诚实的分析我自己

invisible
Isn't it funny...
That with just one look...
You'll fall in love...
And you'll love so true...
But does he ever know you exist?
