Back to the Past

If I could go back to the beginning

And relive it all,

Would I understand what matters in life?

Not afraid of setbacks or blows,

With no emptiness or complaints,

Let me see farther ahead.

If I could go back to the beginning,

Would I still fall in love with you?

Would you care whether it lasted forever?

Or, after the passion faded,

Would you simply say goodbye

And give me a little room to breathe?

I won't make promises so lightly anymore,

Or change myself for anyone again.

Life puts us through its trials,

And love is bound to suffer setbacks.

Still, I look forward to tomorrow.

Zhang Haozhe, “If I Could Go Back to the Beginning”
