Neither do I see you in person
\nNor am I able to dream about you<\/p>\n

What pressure have you exerted on my dreams
\nIf I could dream, I could write pages and dreams<\/p>\n

About my family that has thrown me out
\nFeeling that I might expose their misdeeds
\nEven my friends have left me one by one
\nWhy, because I did not support their selfish attitudes<\/p>\n

My heart throb has been equally blatant
\nIn not returning my love by word, only by taunt
\nForgetting that if a monument is broken
\nIt can be rebuilt, but who can repair a broken heart<\/p>\n

You have broken my heart, now let me dream in peace
\nNot about the hurtful life, only its outward appearance
\nRelease the pressure on my dreaming
\nSo I can understand the world and its meaning<\/p>\n

Allow me to keep dreaming<\/p>\n
