A Korean ballad about a love lost to youth, narrated by Kang KyungHon.
A Korean ballad about a love lost to youth, narrated by Kang KyungHon.
The lyric circles around the number 8, that symbol of infinity crossing paths, but the real tension is in the simpler lines.
'Now I am holding this hand / Even if you leave me I won't be completely free', it's a promise that feels more like a sentence, a vow that binds the speaker as much as it comforts the other person.
A Korean ballad about a love lost to youth, narrated by Kang KyungHon.
I got rid of you because I didn't know love, so I didn't know how to love
The lyric circles around the number 8, that symbol of infinity crossing paths, but the real tension is in the simpler lines. 'Now I am holding this hand / Even if you leave me I won't be completely free', it's a promise that feels more like a sentence, a vow that binds the speaker as much as it comforts the other person.
The phrase 'I lost you because I was so young that I didn't know what was important' carries the whole weight of the song. It's not just an apology; it's an admission that the person you were couldn't hold onto the good thing right in front of you. That line answers a specific, quiet fear, the dread of looking back and realizing your own past self was the problem.
It's a blunt, almost clumsy admission. There's no poetry hiding the fact that he actively pushed someone away out of pure ignorance, which makes the regret cut deeper.
Kang KyungHon's narration gives the track a spoken-word gravity, especially when he delivers the repeated chorus about swearing not to forget.

CHORUS*
We promise it'll be the two of us again
This hand you're holding, I absolutely can't let it go
We swear, no matter what happens
When we break-up, we must not forget these feelings
I got rid of you because I didn't know love, so I didn't know how to love
I lost you beacuse I was so young that I didn't know what was important
How in the world am I supposed to hug you again?
Why did the heavens completely remove you from me?
This precious opportunity won't come to me once more
Why are we like the number 8 crossing each others' paths and meeting again?
One love that crosses the path of life and death
We just cannot know the reason why it is reborn
The heavens bring us closer
And send both of us the message that we'll be together forever
* Repeat
I knew it could all end, I was so scared
I didn't have any confidence
Confidence to live, confidence to be happy
The confidence that I could smile without you in my life
Because of our young age there was a small gap between us
The small aches crept into broken dreams
Now these dreams again
These feelings now of holding you in my arms
This great joy will make us forget about all the pain and sadness
Now I am holding this hand
Even if you leave me I won't be completely free
I can see a lovely smile
It won't escape from before my eyes again
If you are sent away, then it won't be by me
Now I know so well how precious you are
Look at me, don't worry (I won't worry) it is good
* Repeat
