To Love, Not To Be Loved

It's late!
It's late, damn it!
I was late for many things,
I missed many things, I wasted many chances.


Old age burst through the door---
When and how I couldn't understand…
Quietly, imperceptibly like a good thief slipped in…


It's too late to correct mistakes,
Even if I dreamt, I failed to succeed…
Still, I had to dream!
And realize them all!
So, I know why I'm going to die.
I had to…


I missed a lot of trains, places,
and I never found the time for---
thinking, searching, fighting,
falling, getting up---
I couldn't, as I didn't even learn to crawl!


It's late, I haven't flown to many places in life…
I missed fame,
I even turned my back on pride,
waiting for the happy moment, the joy.


But fortunately, I understood one thing---
In this life, the most important thing is to love!
And what about the other?---the other is unnecessary vanity!
That's to be loved…
