IM SORRY I SHOULD UPDATE HEAVEN OFFICIALS CALAMITY BUT I JUST DONT WANT TO IM SO SORRY

anyways wangxian angst

Based on a song (clingy boy sticking for 15 years)


On the first year I wrote poems to you obsessively 

Day and night, to the point where my ink wasn't enough.

I couldn't think about anything else

I hope this letter reaches you well


On the second year I remained the same

I continued writing to you obsessively, day and night

To the point I didn't notice the Jingshi was burning down

When I noticed all I had was the collar of my robes.


On the third year I had become a natural at this

I showed my brother one of my works 

He decided to post it on the announcement board

And all of the sudden everyone wanted to talk to me


On the fourth year my brother asked me if I wanted to write a book

I said yes, so we published it together.

In no time I had earned enough money and fame

That I could leave the Cloud Recesses and cultivation altogether


On the fifth year I became a professional poet 

Really popular among young women who thought I was pretty

But the me who only thought of you

Thought they all looked like radishes grown in my backyard


On the sixth year my body stopped working

I'd written over 2000 poems to you already.

My back felt like it was on fire all the time

It felt like not a single bone of mine wasn't broken


On the seventh year I finally recovered

Oh what should I compare you to today?

The brightest red flower that blooms in the snow?

Or the moon that pierced through the night that was me?


On the eighth year nothing had change.

Oh what should I compare you to today?

The wind that blows past the white clouds?

Or the sound of flute among a light rain in the night.


On the ninth year something happened to me

Apparently I had banged my head really badly

I couldn't even remember my own name

All that I knew was that I really admired you.


On the tenth year and eleventh year my memories were still gone

I still remembered that I loved you

Every day I would still write to you until midnight

All I'm hoping for is for your reply


On the twelfth year and the thirteenth too

My memory still eludes me

I still really, really liked you

Because otherwise what did I have?


On the fourteenth year I still couldn't recall

Anxiety and sadness plagued me everyday 

If even a glance I wanted to see you 

If even a single phrase I wanted to say to you


On the fifteenth year I finally remembered

And when I understood why I got no reply

I collapsed onto the ground and loudly cried

Because fifteen years ago you already died.


Using my love for you to write poems

If I stack them all together will they reach you someday?

It's been 16 years now

And still no reply
