Listen to me
It's you, Lee DonghaeDonghae’s POV
I wanted to chase after her but my legs refused to move. Destiny? I scoffed quietly.
I leaned against the wall behind me and started singing… it was all I could do.
(Davichi – Time, Please Stop
Translation by: yubseyo.wordpress.com)
“Stop right there before I show tears
Stop right there before separation comes
So you can't leave, so you can't abandon me and leave
From here on, time please stop”
Why couldn’t I tell her to stop face to face? Why am I so weak?
“Saying farewell, how am I supposed to be well
How am I supposed to send you away while smiling
I can't do that kind of stuff, I'll pretend I didn't hear it
Don't say anything and stop right there”
I can’t send her away smiling… I don’t want to send her away. Please stay…
“The footsteps that are trying to leave, paste them onto the ground
Also paste the lips that is trying to say separation
So you can't leave, so you can't abandon me and leave
From here on, time please stop”
I stopped singing. The lump in my throat grew larger till the point that I couldn’t continue but I could hear a soft voice coming from behind me. Behind the wall, it was Jessica.
She was singing… although it was in English, they were words I understood.
(M2M – The day you went away
Lyrics adjusted & changed around)
“Well I wonder could it be
When I was dreaming 'bout you baby
You were dreaming of me
Call me crazy, call me blind
To still be suffering is stupid after all of this time”
It was stupid to be suffering after 7 years, it really was.
“Did I lose my love to someone better
And does she love you like I do
I do, you know I really, really do”
Was she talking about Taeyeon?
“Well hey
So much I need to say
Been lonely since the day
The day I went away
So sad but true
For me there's only you
Been crying since the day
The day I went away”
Some tears ran down my cheek… was she talking about the time after the accident with Donghwa?
“I remember date and time
September twenty second
Sunday twenty five after nine
In my home, with my friend
She passed me en envelope
that I read too late”
An envelope? September 22nd? That’s the day she and Donghwa got into an accident.
“And we were letting go of something special
Something we'll never have again
I know, I guess I really, really know”
I kept quiet and let her continue singing.
“The day I went away
The day I went away”
“Well hey
So much I need to say
Been lonely since the day
The day I went away
So sad but true
For me there's only you
Been crying since the day
The day I went away”
“Why do we never know what we've got 'til it's gone
How could I carry on
The day I went away
Cause I've been missing you so much I have to say
Been crying since the day
The day I went away
The day I went away
The day I went away”
I supposed the song ended as she stopped singing but I could hear footsteps.
“Is the offer of catching up on 7 years still available?” I looked up to see Jessica with a hopeful expression.
A smile crept up on my face and I walked over to her.
“It’s always available.”
She smiled and lightly bit her lip as I held her hand but her smiled disappeared quickly.
“What is it?”
“We’re engaged to other people.” She played around with the ring on my left hand, spinning it around.
I pulled my hand away and took it off and shoved it in one of my pockets.
“Can we try to face our problems… together?” He asked, and I nodded. A grin crawled on both of our faces. If I could, I would exchange anything for this moment to be forever.
