Today was a festival that wishes are made
We crossed our paths to the bridges brigade
With a paper and light, I hopefully wrote
The longing of spending my life with you revealed my note.

I was looking at you as you lit that bitter lantern
Your eyes were full of hope while mine's uncertain
Tears shed in my eyes as I saw what you've wrote
My hopeful longing came to an endnote.

I've devoured my all with this long solitude
Yearning for the same longing in your hands of gold
But look what I saw, t'was a bitter reply
While the wish tasted sweet, it sounded goodbye.

This poem was inspired by the kdrama I've watched recently entitled, "Flower Crew: Joseon Dating Agency." That scene on the bridge was indeed heartbreaking.
