My favorite poem

 My favorite poem, from Korean movie, The Letter




A Letter of Joy - Dong-kyu Hwang

That I think of you
may be as insignificant as
the sun setting and the wind blowing
against the background of
where you are always seated,
but if and when you are lost
in the seemingly relentless misery
I shall call upon you
with that lingering triviality.

Truly, truly,
the reason I love you so
lies in my having transformed my love
into an eternal wait.
The snow began to cover the valley by the night fall
My love will also find its end some day,
only I am thinking of how I will perceive my longing then
In the meantime I know
snow will melt
flowers will blossom
leaves will fall
and the snow will cover the valley yet again.
