It's All Right, Gentle One

“When you are young, if you fall in love with someone, please treat them gently. No matter how long or short the time you share, if you can always be gentle with each other, then every moment will be a flawless beauty. If you must part, say goodbye properly, and keep gratitude in your heart. Be grateful that they gave you a memory. When you grow up, you’ll understand: when you look back in a sudden moment, a youth free of resentment will leave you with no regrets, like the still full moon over a hill.”
