I met you once, but we are far apart.
Many lakes, and many hills,
many secret mountain passages.
Indeed, a country separates
my friend and me.
But we were brave in parting,
and we are brave in life together.
Though in reality we are
many miles on foot away
and many hours by airplane in distance,
we are so close inside
that perhaps to reach you
all I have to do
is think the same thing
you’re thinking right now:
“We are close in our hearts.”
