Fragrance Along the Path

If only you understood that my sharp tongue hides a soft heart, that I'm deeply insecure, and that I'm timid.

If only you understood that I'm shameless only because it's you, and that I leave because of you, too.

I always thought a person could only fall in love once in a lifetime. Turns out that's not true. I love you, Lin Zhaokai.

I'm sorry, Xia Chuqing. I didn't think things through.

I hope to sleep in a bright, clean house, with a huge garden outside, full of roses of every size. When I wake in the morning, I want to see dewdrops on the blooming petals sparkle in the first rays of sunlight.

I hope all I need is you.

How bleak would half a lifetime be if no one in this world truly loved me?

Thank goodness I have you.
