Poems in Hangul




가까이 다가가고 싶었지만 가까이 다가갈 수 없었습니다.

내가 가까이 다가가면 다가가는 만큼
그대가 멀어질 것 같아서..

가까이 다가가면..
내가 다가가면...
그대는 영영 떠나갈 것 같아서
가까이 다가갈 수 없었습니다.

그대가 떠나간 뒤, 그 상처와 그리움
감당할 수 없을 것 같아서
가까이 다가가고 싶었지만
더이상 가까이 다가갈 수 없었습니다.

한 순간 가까웁다 영영 그대를 떠나게 하는 것보다
거리는 조금 떨어져 있지만 오래도록 그대를
바라보고 싶는 마음이 더 앞섰기에...


Although I wanted to come closer, I couldn't possibly go closer

Because the more I come closer,
it felt like the more you would drift from me

If I come closer...
If I do...
I felt like you would leave me forever.
That's why I couldn't be closer.

After you left, the pain and loneliness...
I didn't think I would be able to handle it.
So Although I wanted to come closer,
I didn't dare to come closer.

Rather than having one moment where I am close to you and letting you go away from me forever.
Although we may be of some distance away,
I wanted to be at a place where I would always be able to see you.

Can you imagine that feeling when you read a poem and your heart suddenly wrenches because it more or less capture as perfectly as it can how you feel?


세상에 완벽한 남자와
완벽한 여자는없다.
모자라는 남자와
모자라는 여자가 만들어가는
완벽한 사랑만이 있을뿐이다.

There's no such thing as the perfect guy.
And there's no such thing as the perfect girl.
But only a less than perfect guy
and a  less than perfect girl
Can make a perfect love.

내 눈엔...
너 만 보인다는말...
난...거짓말이라고 생각해...
내눈엔 많은 사람들이 보여..
그 치만..그 많은 사람들 중에서
" 너만을 찾게돼..."

In my eyes...
The saying is that you're the only one I see...
That, I believe, is a lie...
In my eyes, I see a lot of people...
But throughout that group of people,
I only search for you.

This has got to be one of the most compelling and beautiful love poems I've read.
