Junqi wanted to write a poem together so this is what happened, and I sent it to the school magazine for last year. According to her, I shouldn't have added her name to the credit, because I wrote most of it, but she did help, and it was her idea. So... I think most of our schoolmates liked it, even though it's a bit melancholy. There are a few mistakes, but I still like it.
This is the story of he and she,
They lived in a village by the sea.
The villagers said it was destiny,
But it turned out it was not meant to be.
He the sailor,
She the fisherman's daughter.
The first day of summer,
The first day they saw each other.
She was known as a great beauty.
Each day, she would swim in the great blue sea.
One day, as he stood on deck drinking tea,
He dropped his cup, mesmerized by her beauty.
By the end of the season, they were wed.
They had great pleasures while in bed.
You may think they were happy but this is sad,
This happy tale is about to end bad.
Each morning, she still went swimming.
Her beauty still blossomed even with her aging.
She became so beautiful till one day,
Even the sea couldn't turn away.
That evening, she did not return.
The cause of her disappearance, he vowed to learn.
As the night went on he began to despair.
He ran towards the sea, hoping to find her there.
He walked along the shore, desperate to find a trace.
Instead the sea washed up her ring, he began to pace.
Up and down the beach he went,
His frustrations, he began to vent.
Close to dawn, a conclusion came to my mind.
The mere thought brought tears to his eyes.
He realized that the sea had finally claimed her as its own.
Struck by the horror, he began to moan.
He looked out into the sea and thought,
A life without her, worth living? Not.
And so he walked into the sea,
Hoping that he would find his she.
Nothing was heard of them since then,
And at last our tragic tale has come to an end.
