The hot temperature this night is close to me and traps me. My body seems to be on fire. Looking at your eyes gently tempting me to test me, how can I avoid it. It's about to explode. My body is about to burst. Please help me. My mind is obsessed. I close my eyes and secretly look at you in my heart. I'm afraid of how to distinguish right from wrong. She left that day, her heart was broken, she was used to emptiness, she didn't dare to love anymore, and she didn't want to burn this body again.

How can we know the trace of fragrance and reunite two dead hearts? There is no need to pretend to be relaxed and cover up the sadness in the letter. Can I walk through the darkness tonight, come back and realize my sweet dream, and be intoxicated with admiring the night sky for the rest of my life?

I am listening to the sound of voices, the sound of piano, and the sound of night rain. There are few guests and the waiters are not interested. They are vaguely visible. The old menu is not much changed, but the voices are familiar and I no longer meet them at night. Laughing while crying, remembering yesterday's sweet and joyful sitting together, drinking dry, thinking about the past again, hoping to forget this story when drunk. I'm waiting for you in the song, but you don't know it at this moment. You seem to see it vaguely, and dance with you again.

I am listening to the sound of human voices, the sound of piano, and the sound of rain at night. But I am familiar with the voice and never see it again at night. Laughing while crying, remembering yesterday's sweet and joyful sitting with each other. After the wine is gone, I think about the past again, hoping that I will forget this story when I am drunk. The cigarette went out and the lights dispersed, leaving me with only sighs and lonely eyes as I spent the night.
