I wish I could hold on forever

To this moment, this beautiful one. 

I wish this song would keep playing

Hope this melody never echoes empty. 

But this too shall pass, like all else

This me, here today, will die soon. 

This fleeting nature will wear me out 

My memories, my joys, my sorrows. 

For this fleeting moment, let me cheer

To life, to rebirth and to rejuvenation.

Maybe plant a little sapling today 

That may give shade to my future self. 

Neither time not distance, it seems 

Can keep my thoughts chained. 

Like a gushing stream of pristine water, 

The memories makes their presence felt.

Blatant, like an unforgettable image;

And even when the eyes may be closed

The sound of water hitting the rocks 

Takes me back to a tumultuous time. 

These voices will never go away, fade 

Hence I must buy my peace with them.

Live a life so beautiful, a daring adventure

That the sounds unite in a singular melody.
