If I am unable to be with you
By Stefanie Sun Yan Zi

Do we end this or do we forgive?
Love seems to be forever far away.
The eyes don't reveal anything,
only a hint of tears.
How can I ever forget,
The hope you once gave me?

It's you who first filled me with warmth,
You gave me the wings to soar after my dreams.
You showed me how to use the wind's direction,
to be able to reach my loftiest dreams.

If I am unable to be with you...
To share in joy and sadness together.
No matter what lies ahead of me,
there will be no strength in each step I take.

If I am unable to be with you...
To seek happiness together in this life.
Then loneliness has taken all strength away from me,
and left only a simple sadness.

I don't normally listen to chinese songs but I sort of stumbled cross this song one evening as I was "trawling" the web.

Anyway, when I heard the chorus bit, it really struck a chord in me and brought back some sad memories.

Just when you thought that you have gotten over the past, along comes something that simply resurfaces it starkly, like it just happend yesterday.

I couldn't help but listen to it over and over again.

Sigh.... Dec is going to be hard to get past.
