The River

The river flows in one direction
Without u-turn
The river will carry away time 
The river will carry away youth 
The river will carry away love 
The river will carry away memory 
The river will carry away
Whatsever you dump into it
Unless you try to hold it back
With a heartwarming hug
Unless you save your time
By making good use of it
Unless with a strong bond of love
Love makes people's hearts feel young
Unless with great perseverance and tolerance
True love never dies
Sweet memories linger in our mind
Never to be forgotten
Unless you purposely want to
The river flows in one direction 
Without u-turn
Whatsever dump into it
Will be carried away
Will be lost forever
Never to be rescued
And so think twice 
Before you give it up
