Long Time No See, My Strategist

I met you, radiant and full of life, in the underworld

With a brocade letter in your hand, your eyes holding endless sorrow and grief

Could it be that our meeting carried memories of a life before?

I would see you reach the pinnacle again, a thousand years from now

The strategist Kongming of the past, who summoned a thousand soldiers with a word or a plan

The secret of a past life in the present, whose every frown and smile has found its way into my heart

"It wasn't a heavenly book that brought you here to see me. It was your words from a thousand years ago: 'May our fate continue.'"

"I guarded you through a thousand years of hardship and wandering, yet the instant I saw you, I couldn't say a word about sharing a happy future."

"I wake from my dream and push open the door. Are you there, my love?"

"The lamp shines on the candle stand; the night is still bright."

It's been so long, my dear strategist.

So this wasn't our first meeting in the underworld after all...
