If you see me in your eyes,

Smart, independent and strong,

Always appears impenetrable,

Always quiet and sensible, rarely speaks,

So—we are passersby meeting by chance,

If you see me in your eyes,

Not so smart, a little naive,

A little silly and cute,

And among the countless other people in this world,

So—we can be friends,

If you see me in your eyes,

Not so useful, but always kind,

Although fragile, still considerate,

Although there are various shortcomings,

So—you are the friend I most cherish,

If you encounter me in front of you,

Not so sensible, understanding,

Always arguing with you more picky than with others,

Always have endless topics to talk about for three or four days, So—you are a very important existence to me,

No one is perfect,

We are not banknotes,

Impossible to satisfy everyone,

In front of strangers, we always try to hide,

Trying to make ourselves look elegant and sensible,

As if we could hold all the grievances in the world,

Only in front of the dearest people,

We will show our most real selves without restraint,

This imperfect self contains the greatest dependence,

That imperfectness is the most real me,

Unreservedly expose weaknesses,

It is also because in front of you, I never need to pretend,

And never put up a shield,

..................................................................................................

If one day,

I have to be cautious and polite in front of you,

No longer carefree and casual smiles, unrestrained crying,

You might think I've become more sensible,
