I was listening to my mp3 player and an old song popped up on my list. The song is, by no means, the best song out there, nor is Jolin even close to the most talented female singer in Taiwan. Nonetheless, it's a good song and it hit me harder then I would have liked.

檸檬草的味道 (The Smell of Lemongrass)by 蔡依林 (Jolin Tsai)他们猜我们后来有没有再见离席了才会晓得怀念
Everyone wonders whether we saw each other again
Only after leaving can we know longing.
突然我记起你的脸那触动依然像昨天
Suddenly I remember your face
The jolt is the same as if it were yesterday
对自己我终於也证实某一点
I finally prove a point to myself
是不是回忆就是淡淡柠檬草
心酸里又有芳香的味道
Is this memory like faint lemon grass?
Bittersweet but with a fragrant taste
曾以为你是全世界
但那天已经好遥远
I thought you were my whole world
But that day (time) is already long gone
绕一圈我才发现我有更远地平线
In a full circle, I find I have a horizon that is further away
我们都没错只是不适合我要的我现在才懂得
Neither of us were wrong, just not the right match
I am now understanding what I want
快乐是我的不是你给的寂寞要自己负责
Happiness is mine not something you can give
I have to be responsible for my loneliness
毕竟用尽了力气也未必如愿总是要过去以后才了解
Even if we use all our strength, we may not get our wishes
We only understand after it passes
突然我记起你的脸爱不爱不过一念之间
Suddenly I remember your face
To love or not depends on one thought
绕一圈今天的我能和昨天面对面
In a full circle the me today can come face to face with yesterday
我们都没错只是不适合亲爱的我当时不懂得
Neither of us were wrong, just not the right match
My love, I didn't know at the time
选择是我的不是你给的明天自己负责
The choice is mine not something you can give
I am responsible for tomorrow
给昨天的我一个拥抱曾经她不知如何是好
Give my yesterday self a hug
Once upon a time she didn't know what to do
若我们再见我会微笑
If we meet again I will smile
谢谢你谢谢你我尝过爱的好
Thank you
Thank you
For letting me taste the goodness of love
我们都没错只是不适合我要的我现在才懂得
Neither of us were wrong, just not the right match
I am now understanding what I want
快乐是我的不是你给的寂寞要自己负责
Happiness is mine not something you can give
I gavto be responsible for my loneliness
我要的我现在才懂得选择是我的不是你给的
I am now understanding what I want
The choice is mine not something you can give
幸福要自己负责错过的请你把握
I am responsible for my own happiness
What we miss out on please hold on.
