“The closest star to Earth is the Sun.”
But how could astronomers know?
That for me, the closest star
Is my beloved — she is the star on the balcony.
“The longest era was the Stone Age.”
But how could historians know?—
That for me, the longest era
Is the time I waited for you.
“The hardest thing is to know oneself.”
But how could philosophers know?—
That for me, the hardest thing
Is to lose you.
“1 + 1 = 2.”
But how could mathematicians know?—
That you and I are one soul.
…Ah,
What hopes I place in people,
What dreams I expect from them—
Even the scholars cannot understand me,
Let alone the fools.
