Sleepless Tom Sharp

I can’t sleep; the waves keep pounding my pillow. Huai River doesn’t care as it takes you away. Once we drank together among flowers by the river, our wine tasting like happiness, not sorrow. Why did I need to become your friend? It only troubles me now that you are gone.

虞美人·波声拍枕长淮晓 苏轼

波声拍枕长淮晓，隙月窥人小。 无情汴水自东流，只载一船离恨、向西州。 竹溪花浦曾同醉，酒味多于泪。 谁教风鉴在尘埃？ 酝造一场烦恼、送人来。
