青梅味已散
[qīng méi wèi yĭ sàn]
Loosely meaning 'The flavor of green plums has dissipated', this phrase metaphorically describes faded childhood sweethearts, past love, or youthful times. In Chinese culture, unripe (green) plum (青梅) symbolizes young love. When its taste disperses, it represents memories and affections losing luster over time.
