The journey I even doubt it myself,
Having stayed here for a while.
Like of other beautiful places,
I've never heard waiting ahead.

I'll never have to think twice.
It surely will have just come.
Never again to listen to my heart,
It surely will just be the time.

I'll just silently take bag and leave,
Enough, having swallowed my pride.
I'll never have even to turn back,
Having shut the door behind.
