                Duckweeds were a reunion and then dispersion...!

                Flower will be fading after it was blooming...!
                Met and then separated...!
                Love is always calling,
                and echo in our heart...
                Where are you now?

                Here...I was...
                So...All the old love roads I had alone walked and counted the
            sound  of  my  steps.  The  Doc-Lap  street  in  evening  was  quiet  and
            fewer people are walking on its sidewalk. It became a sad place and
            made me called for your name.

                Thu-Thu-Thao. Nha-Trang of the loving peace and happiness was
            changed in rapidly by the war...! it had a curfew after 22:00 PM...! It
            was a sad place...
