The Lover I Borrowed from Time to Time

I don't belong here, but I like you. I traded a lifetime of marriage for seven years of high school and college freedom. I thought that simplicity and ordinaryness were the real freedom, but I didn't know that being ordinary was destined to be ignored. I thought that as long as I really liked you, I would wait for your embrace, but I didn't know that my sincerity was destined to be drowned. I thought that marriage with you was a kind of bondage, but I didn't know that this kind of bondage has worried me all my life and has become my support. Youth, confusion, wandering, struggle, pain, choice, and expectations. Whether love, friendship, and family affection can withstand the test of the world. The me you love is all me, the original me. The petrels in the storm are proud; the roses in the thorns are in full bloom. Only when the wind is against you can you fly. Only after I have counterattacked can I deserve love and be by your side.
