Please give me a little time to recollect . Actually, it does not matter what we are talking about; as long as you are by my side , I am so contended and happy already.
当你看着老去的我，请不要悲伤。
理解我，支持我，就像你刚开始学习 如何生活时我对你那样。
When you see the old me, please do not be sad .
Please understand me and support me, just like how I was with you when you were young and were just learning to face life.
当初我引導你走上人生的路，如今请陪伴我走完最后的路。给我你的爱和耐心，我会报以感激的微笑，这微笑中凝结着我对你无限的爱。
At the beginning, I guided you to the path of life . Now I ask you to keep me company to finish this last leg of my life. Give me your love and patience, I will give you a grateful smile, and crystallized in this smile is my endless love for you.
