To Fiance

To Fiance

A Poem by 송지석 / Ji-Suk

Trembling in the flower wind today
You are the most beautiful one in the entire world

You caught the flower bouquet flying through the sky,
And laughed, “It’s our turn now!”
I’m sorry for having kept you waiting for so long
Let us make today the greatest holiday in our life

Freesia for our eyes meeting
Ixia for mutual understanding
Amaryllis for our memories
Sweet pea for finally coming all the way here
And Iris, budding in the garden of my heart
Let us make the flowers bloom in our life, just for the two of us

I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I am devoting my whole lifetime to you
So I will ask for yours in return
“Good morning”, “I’ll be off”, “I’m home”, “Goodnight”
I want all those times for myself
And every time, I will keep falling in love with you all over again
I want to live at least a second longer
So I don’t have to leave you alone

You understand the awkward and clumsy me,
You are the one I can open my heart to
And although things were not always great
Thank you for never letting go of my hand

Tweedia for spending time together
Julia’s Rose for mutual respect
Anastasia* for our closeness
Gerbera for our new begininng
And Lewisia, growing in the garden of my heart
Let us concentrate all the happiness in a smile we haven’t met yet

Cute, kind, naughty, a crybaby
Probably self-centered like a certain someone
But I will always forgive it
Brother, Uncle, Aunt, Nephew
They have been always protecting these bonds
Now it’s our turn to build the future

From now on, when I want to see you, you’ll be there
This alone will keep me alive

I want to die just a second earlier
Because you are not alone anymore
Surrounded by countless flowers and people
I will keep laughing and telling you this until the very end

I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
If I managed to devote my whole lifetime to you
I don’t have any regrets in this life
On sunny days, and rainy days, and windy days, and snowy days
No matter what, I will always be by your side
And will make you keep falling in love with me all over again
I will never forget you the way you are today

I love you

This is a very touching tribute to the poet's true love, apparently after some period of separation. He is unrestrained in his praise of her and vows his ongoing devotion. The use of the names of different flows to symbolize various aspects of the relationship is a nice touch. In the end he says he will never forget her as she is now. Hopefully he will be able to maintain this level of enthusiasm. Very nice.

Thank you very much! I am glad you liked it!
What a beautiful devotional. If love bloomed like flowers then the speaker would have picked each head and served it on silver platter for their beloved. This truly does read like a vow. The speaker readily has the remedy for their love through making specific flowers, which is very specific. To be thought of so highly by someone is very lovely. Great read.

My goodness..I tried and tried to find a particular stanza as I liked the most!
But I failed as all of them as something particularly unique in it....
At the last stanza about the promise of the different day as different situations and you're being by her side was lovely out of the world!!
Really it was a beautiful read😊
