The Heartbreak in Waiting

You're supposed to be here.

While I wait for you in advance,

the approaching footprints are heavy, drumming in my ears. 

They are pounding in my heart. 

Every rustling leaf comes to me.

Anyone who's ever waited knows the agony of being separated from their lover.

Is there anything that's as heartbreaking as waiting? 

The place you were supposed to come, I'm already here.

Everyone who opens the door and walks in. 

It was you. 

It was you, it was you. It would have been you.

The door's closing again. 

My dearest… 사랑하는 이여...

Finally, I come to you.

I'm coming to you from a very far distance, from the other side of the world. 

After all these years, you are coming now. 

I’m coming slowly from far away. 

While I'm waiting for you, I'm coming.

Through the doors that others open and come in.

All the footprints that pounded my heart. 

I'm coming to you while waiting for you.

 Is there anything that's as heartbreaking as waiting?
