NEXT STOP
BY YULIANG (EDISON) ZHANG

I am sorrowful that everything in this world has to come to the end
When we face an absence, we have no option to avoid it happening
The opportunities that we acquired during our life are limited
Nevertheless, we are able to end it in our own way

Honestly, when I first landed on this region, I was fresh off the boat
Everything alive and wonderful was curious for this strange passenger
I enjoyed a new air by the window of my heart
At that moment, I started my fantastic journey of life
Gradually, the words from my mouth became fluent
The atmosphere accepting this seeming alien
I was intoxicated with my indelible memory
Every new day was my crucial harvest
Finally... Absence makes the hearts grow fonder

The little boat almost reached its destination
It is time for me to get off the boat
So Where is the next stop?
