Being Sentimental

Sentiment
as we sometimes have.
Sad songs,
make us realize --
the fullness
and emptiness of
our life moments.


Lyrics:
Sorry My Love is Late
by Kim Jo Han

Hangsang gyeote itjiman

Translation:

Even though you're always by my side,
one day you'll just pass me by
There was always a line drawn down the middle of us
You know how I am, I'm always one step behind
I must have ignored what my heart was trying to tell me
Watching you looking like you were about to burst into tears
I just pushed you away silently
I think I know, trying not to make my heart feel sorry
You tried your best
I had a person like you by my side and
didn't even realize love had come to me
Even til the moment you left
I didn't realize that love had left me
I now know that my heart is aching because of you
I'm so sorry my love is too late
I didn't even know my own heart
And yet I used to go around pretending to know what love was
I'm so tired, because I think of you so much
and because I can't remember
Just thinking of that one thing I start to tear up again
I had a person like you by my side
and didn't even realize love had come to me
Even til the moment you left
I didn't realize that love had left me
I now know that my heart is aching because of you
I'm so sorry my love is too late
I must have kept fooling myself
and turning my head the other way
I must have caused myself pain
because I was afraid of happiness
You haven't forgotten me yet right,
you're attachment is always one step behind
If I wait you'll come won't you,
it's my turn to be in pain
From now on I'll be your best love
My beginning is slower than yours
Longer than you
I'll love you even more than you loved me
