I lost her!
My heart cried out loud,
Life lacked color, as that of a shroud.
Readily, cheerily, we both cherished each other,
Good was everything then—why did this happen?

Soon, as we grew closer, about to confess,
The whole world fell into a trap.
The only place that connected us disconnected me.
In that lament, within the sorrow,
I waited for her,
I longed for her.
A glimpse of her was all my eyes were searching for,
With a mountain on my heart, I still carried on.
No way to contact, no way to talk, no way to see,
Flames of these surrounded my heart,
It was then when I lost my hope and finally thought I lost her.

Then she passed by me,
I called out her name and talked to her for a while,
My heart was racing against time, my eyes couldn't leave her beautiful face.
That was the last time I saw her,
Gracefully, I bid her adieu.
And just as I thought, "I found her,"
I lost her...
I lost her...
I lost her forever...

In the crowd, I seek her familiar grace,
Each face a reminder of her irreplaceable embrace.
Yet in this search, I find a truth so clear,
That every time I think of her, voices reflect through my ears,
Her image graces my eyes, and my heart feels the warmth of her presence.
And yet the truth is,
I lost her...
I lost her...
I lost her forever...
