Fortune Teller by Li Zhiyi.

I live at the head of the Yangtze

River,
You live at it's mouth
I think of you constantly but never see you
Though we drink the same Yangtze River
When will this river rest?
When will my pain end?
If your feelings are just the same as mine,
We'll never stop longing for each other.

    Maybe both hate and love I have, but seldom pain. The hate I have is beacuse of the love. hate the river and distance apart us, but the river connects us meanwhile . The river would never rest, my love and hate would not stop either. What a unnocent and pretty fairy tale.

    卜算子•我住长江头 李之仪 我住长江头，君住长江尾； 日日思君不见君，共饮长江水。 此水几时休？此恨何时已？ 只愿君心似我心，定不负相思意。🌻

    宋代李之仪的<卜算子> 我住长江头，君住长江尾； 日日思君不见君，共饮长江水。 此水几时休？此恨何时已？ 只愿君心似我心，定不负相思意。
