“There is no winter here”[1] I miss the drizzle and cold in the North. Yet I insist: There is winter right in the middle of Saigon!
I have lived with winter all year long When the cicadas' chirping pains the summer night The first quarter moon is hanging in the air I am alone, absent-minded in the middle of the dike!
Winter has "sprouted" in me since then I realized my haste Too trusting of your sweet, gentle words: "We will build a career together in May"
I can't fathom all the hardships and changes. I only see life as rosy from the will. When you spoke without hiding: "Let's not tie each other down." The hidden part of humanity has appeared without confusion!
Late night dream, the wind shakes the shutters. Several flower pots scatter their soft petals. You indifferently leave the house in silence, leaving me alone on the porch!
Broken bridges can be rebuilt. Ten o'clock flowers will bloom at noon. But she deliberately left, left forever. This love story has now sunk into nothingness!
Who knows that in the midst of sunny Saigon, there is a cold winter in the heart, a little warmth transmitted from friends, remaining in this life thanks to great kindness and deep love!
Hanoi, Saigon, autumn 2024 [1] Lyrics from the song "Sending sunshine to you".
