Oh, if one day I see you again,
I don’t know what I would say.

Perhaps I’d simply look into your eyes
and remember the days gone by.

Once, you were my love,
my dream, my entire world.

But the years changed us,
and my heart found its own way.

I don’t blame you anymore.
I’ve learned that
love cannot live on words alone.

If I ever see you again,
I will tell you, “I am in love,”

but not with you—

with the one who understood me,
loved me,
and valued me.

You remained in my past,
while he found a place within my heart.

He came when I had fallen silent
and understood the words I could not say.

He never asked me to change.
He simply loved me
exactly as I am.

If you ever ask,
“Do you still love me?”

I will say:

“I love—
but not the one
who left me alone.”

I love the one who stayed.

Let our past remain behind us.
At last, I have found the love
my heart had been waiting for.
