“I appreciate all your continuous support for street music even in such cold weather tonight, thank you very much.” The whole crowd applauded.

You smiled at them. “So, the following song will be the last one for tonight. I dedicate this song to the only one I love. I hope you like it, enjoy.” Everyone applauded again.

Slowly drumming on your acoustic guitar, you lowered the microphone and began to sing.

You’re only getting farther – you’re the only one
As much as I loved you, you’re the only one

You close your eyes, re-playing all those favourite memories in your head - the food fights, the movie marathons, dancing sessions, candlelight dinners, sleepovers, and so much more.

It hurts and hurts and it’s foolish but good bye
Though I may never see you again, you’re the only one
Only one

We awkwardly sit across each other,
Making small talk and asking what’s new

“They found out already…he’s going to report to the chairman.”

The moments when the conversation stop for a moment

“Does this mean…”

The cold silence freezes us

“This is my dream, I promised my father. Let’s live on by ourselves now...”

We will become strangers at this place right now
Someone will shed tears and be left alone but
I hate seeing you try not to scar me and feel ill at ease
So I’ll let you go

You sang louder and louder, trying to hold in your tears.

My love, good bye now – you’re the only one (you’re the only one)
Even at the moment we break up, you’re the only one
It hurts and hurts and it’s foolish but good bye
Though I may never see you again, you’re the only one

Only One
You’re the only one, Only One

You looked up, locking eyes with a particular pair within the crowd. Those eyes were hidden between a black cap and a white mask, but the sorrow in those eyes was not difficult to identify. As you continued to stare, you kept singing.

At my sudden works, you seem to be relieved for some reason
Where did we go wrong?
Did we hope for different places starting from long ago?

The sharpness of the vast difference of our start and end
And the pain that stabs my heart – why is it so similar?
My overwhelmed heart crumbles emptily in just one moment
How can I stand up again?

You continued to sing louder and louder with your eyes closed, trying to stop the tears from leaving your eyes.

My love, good bye now – you’re the only one
Even at the moment we break up, you’re the only one
It hurts and hurts and it’s foolish but good bye
Though I may never see you again, you’re the only one

When will my head erase you?
One day, two days, one month, if long term then a few years
And someday in your memories,
I won’t live in it, you will erase me

Only One

Opening your eyes to sniffling sounds, you saw most of the audience crying in silence. You scanned through the crowd again, and saw that beautiful pair of eyes walking towards you.

Only One

He bent down and left a sapphire blue box in the middle of the pile of money in your guitar case. When he looked up, you stared at him and put the microphone close to your mouth.

You’re the only one, Only One

Without any words, he walked away. You picked up the box and watched him slowly walk towards a black van.

“Hae ah…” you whispered to yourself.

The crowd cheered and applauded, with many leaving money in your guitar case.

You bent down to open the box and found a ring shining back at you. Noticing the inner rim of the ring, you found the words: “My Only One”. You unfolded the note attached in the box and tears finally left your eyes, leaving a trail on your cheeks.

You’re my only one.  – Hae

Looking up again, you found the black van he got on leaving. My love, good bye now.
