Người con gái tôi từng yêu The girl I once loved

The girl I once loved

You’re the moon, serene in a midnight sky,
A fairy lost in this mortal sphere.
Your eyes, like autumn’s endless sigh,
Hold tears of dreams unfulfilled, unclear.

A lecturer, in youth’s radiant blaze,
Sowing wisdom with a touch divine.
Yet love, a cruel blade that strays,
Shattered your heart and its dreams sublime.

I loved you, silently, in foolish despair,
Like a breeze lost in a wistful dream.
Though you walk life’s lonely, rugged stair,
I watch from afar, too distant to gleam.

Your strength, like flowers in storms that fight,
Fragile willows with roots so deep.
You rise again, a phoenix alight,
Igniting a fire in my heart to keep.

I’m but a wanderer, lost and alone,
Gazing at shadows of your fading hue.
Though I may never hold your hand once known,
I pray your soul finds skies anew.

You never knew my love burned bright,
In youthful days, pure and true.
Now I wish your life a silken flight,
Free to soar in skies of endless blue.
