Just Like (如一) — by Naiwen Yang (楊乃文)

What is less? What is more?
What is special? What is mediocre?
I don’t think I see it through, but am not puzzled.
I don’t think I’m stubborn, but have not yet forgetten.

I wanna be like wind, having no form but staying together.
be like a cup of water, neither thick or thin.
be like a dream that seems real but also has never existed.

Why do I have to understand? Why do I have to ask?
Why do we have to compare? Why do we have to be the same?
That is not right, but also not wrong.
That is not the cause, but also not the effect.

I wanna be like wind, sometimes stay sometimes disperse.
be like a cup of water, being thick and also thin.
be like a dream that doesn’t exist but seriously exists.

I wanna have a heart that doesn’t hate or love.
be like a star that is neither bright nor dim.
be like a person, who doesn’t fear pain, and thus I will never be afraid of not having a free life.

Centrifugal Force (離心力)– by Faith Yang

If you come closer for another inch,
I will believe our love is real.
Centrifugal force and you
are forever pulling each other.

I quietly watch
what does not belong to me.
The distance
makes me linger.

Please don’t hug me, and no kiss at all.
Otherwise I will break in pieces, no longer complete.
If I have never existed, then there will not be any chance
that I will disappear.

I want to talk, but then I swallow the words.
That in fact makes me happy.
As I am only a stardust in your eyes,
you’ll never understand how dangerous is my position.

Not even a single love affair
is not a conspiracy.
Only after you have conquered loneliness,
you know how to be gentle.

I want a bit more regret,
so that my love will be complete.
Let me go with you to the end;
it is romance.

Even if I keep loving for my whole life,
I know it is not happening.
Centrifugal force is my destiny.
Destiny, I’here.
