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.
May you extinguish the fire of love and be afraid to accept the result. That beautiful plan for that day has gone wrong. I couldn't erase the pain, it was locked in my brain, but my heart longed for love to pass through again.

It was a rainy day, so I let my eyes write in the rain to express my love. It started like a dream, comforting the frustrated madman and the angel in my heart, and walking towards the future together.
From now on, I will be devoted to you, and I will miss you in my dreams. True love will go through many ups and downs, and the changes will show my infatuation.
Hope, hope, attracts lovers into the trap, but my sincerity is no different today and yesterday. It is you who want to fly high, just because I cannot fly. The angel of that day has already forgotten myself today.
Needless to say, I have no choice but to forget all emotions. I only know that I am single-minded and drifting in the past. Needless to say, I had no choice but to forget all feelings and righteousness. I only knew that I was single-minded and drifting in the past.
The frustrated madman in the rain and the high-flying angel separate into the future.

The sudden change of wind, sending a slight chill, blew the envelope again, the old dream stirred up, tears welled up again, and fell into the letter. I can understand you in the words, I miss you and hug you that day, I hope to meet you again in the rain, but I have no time to talk nonsense. My vision is hazy, the empty wine glass is turning and tears are touching, and repeated thinking cannot change the heartache that only you can comfort.
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 can understand you in the words, I miss you and hug you that day, I hope to meet you again in the rain, but I have no time to talk nonsense. My vision is hazy, the empty wine glass is turning and tears are touching, and repeated thinking cannot change the heartache that only you can comfort.
Can you tell me your difficulties and reunite two dead hearts? There is no need to pretend to be relaxed and cover up your sadness in the letter. It felt like I was walking through darkness tonight, but unfortunately the picture was hazy and I disappeared again.

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.

Not being bored is like acting, treating you warmly without regrets, but unexpectedly meeting a love rival, angina pectoris death. And he is as secretive as a robber, and he dares to make fun of me. He has no interest at all, and only knows how to be jealous. I often scold me at others and complain about things I did wrong. I just like to play around day and night and dress up to make people angry. Whoever is worth more than me can get more from you, Woo, selling his heart.
Who is this in the glass window today? Who is this in the glass window today? Why do we sleep with each other this night? Will this be my sin, or your willful sin, your mask of enthusiasm never tears. Who is this in the glass window today? Who is this in the glass window today? Why do we sleep with each other this night? Seeing you pretending to be intoxicated and hiding under the hot quilt makes my heart feel like a toy and I shed tears.
