Chapter 2 i like you quiet

I like that you are still, as if you were gone, You hear me from afar, and my voice does not reach you. It seems your eyes have gone flying It's as if a kiss seals your mouth. like everything fills my heart You emerge from it and fill my heart. Butterfly in my dream, you are like my soul, It seems to be melancholy lightly. I like that you are still, as if you are far away. As if you were lamenting, butterflies coo like doves. Listen to me from afar, my voice does not reach you: Let me be quiet in your silence. Let me talk to your silence, Silence is as bright as a lamp, as simple as a ring.

With silence and stars, you are like the night. Your silence is like a star, far away but frank. I like your stillness: as if you were gone, Far away and full of sorrow, as if you were gone. Just one word and one smile is enough. I am happy, but not really happy. Translated by Wang Yangle
