Dreaming in the Southern Water Towns

Water, faintly, is the tear that flows out of my heart; wind, lightly, is my scattered thoughts; rain, softly, is my unforgettable love, which drifts away with water, dissipates with the wind, and falls with the rain. All these are the destined bond between you and me in this life!

The umbrella you held for me in the rain has now slipped from my hands. I thought I could walk out of the rainy season and into the warm sunshine with you. However, the plum rains in Jiangnan are always so lingering, entangling my heart with pain, tears, and broken dreams. Now, I am left trembling in the drizzle, picking up the fragments one by one with my shaking hands. I want to put them together, piece by piece, and restore the beautiful vows we once made.
