when love becomes a thing of the past

don't mention the past again
life is already full of wind and rain
since memories cannot be erased
love and hate still remain in my heart

the past must really be cut off
to allow tomorrow to go on
so don't try so hard to ask about my news again

love, that is a difficult problem
it entrances one's being
to forget about pain is perhaps possible
but to forget about you is not too easy

you won't really go away
from beginning to end you are in my heart
i still have love for you
i am helpless towards myself

* because i still have a dream
i still keep you in my heart
i'm always easily moved by the past
always feeling hurt because of you

don't linger all this time
in the tender love that i did not intend
do not ask me whether we'll meet again
do not bother if i can freely express myself

** why don't you understand
that if there is love, there will be pain
one day you will know
that life without me will not be any different
life already happens too swiftly
i am very afraid that my vision will always be blurred by tears
there won't be pain if you forget about me
so leave the past in the wind

repeat from * till the end, then from ** till the end
