Bitter Yet Sweet

In every heart break
A flower will wither
Petal by petal, one upon another
Weeds will grow in lustrous meadow
Strangle each new bloom

In every heart break
Rain will fall
Pearl by pearl upon the window
Clouds will not move when the wind blows
Lifeless like a dead soul

Never let a broken heart
Masks the silver moon
Let a smile drowns all the heart's frowns
May a blink of star brightens the dusk
Heal all grievous sparks

Never let a broken heart
Fogs the golden sun
Let the gaze fades, its ray will radiate
May yesterday's scene no more than a dream
Brisk, bitter yet sweet
