Dreaming of Opening a Small Shop and Spending the Rest of My Life There

tired of the nine-to-five life
i want to find a place i like
open a small shop of my own
waiting to meet warm people
spend the rest of my life wasting away
watching the sun set day after day

it could be a small flower shop
first take a sour and outdated literary shop name
lots of flowers piled inside the shop
of course, the shop outside should also have a floral fragrance
let passersby have a good mood


looking out the window at the warm sunshine
randomly arrange flowers and plants in the shop
prepare flower bouquets for customers
thinking about a happy couple
i couldn't help but smile


when i have free time
i will learn the latest flower arrangements
or lie in the rocking chair
in the fragrant flower room
read that book that hasn't been finished
life in trivial details is full of poetic beauty


it could be a small bakery
since i fell in love with baking, i've been thinking
i must open a shop of my own
the shop should have super bright lights
display all kinds of baked goods made by myself


watching the daily customers
selecting their favorite bread and biscuits
they are all people who love sweets like me
sweet tastes should bring good mood
this is probably the happiest thing about baking


after closing
I will delve into new products in the back kitchen
humming the songs that have been looping for several days
bake cookies, make another cake
the room is filled with a warm fragrance
this moment is already beautiful enough


it could be a small bookstore
to realize my long-awaited literary dream
looking at a whole room of books
i feel like i am the richest person in the world
books are the greatest wealth


the shop must also have a sound system
buy several CDs with soothing music
light incense in the corner
holding a book that hasn't been finished
wandering in the spiritual world
the remaining days will never feel boring


and I can meet similar book lovers every day
talk about our favorite books with them
talk about our stories
maybe here
there will be someone who will have a romantic encounter
quietly expect all beautiful things to happen


it could be a small coffee shop
maybe in that legendary corner
playing relaxing jazz in the shop
the aroma of coffee permeates every corner
waiting for unknown travelers to step in


the shop should have a big glass window
let the sunshine come in from the window
bathing in the warm sunshine
listening to everyone whispering and chatting
interesting stories also make life colorful


when there are few customers
listen to music, read books, or make a cup of coffee for myself
trying out the recently learned latte art
it's a good opportunity to try
it could be a small inn


it must be a place i like
either by the sea or quiet
let's build our home here
i also expect to meet unknown people here
the inn may have a dog


the courtyard should be full of flowers
there should also be a swing
the lobby should use a large floor-to-ceiling window
sunshine spills into the room
listening to people from all over the world
they tell their stories here
my dream is so simple


have a shop of my own
on a sunny day
meet all warm things and people
no matter where
don't miss the sunset and sunset
with you together
waste away
