情深似海抵不过时光的蹉跎
[qíng shēn sì hăi dĭ bù guò shí guāng de cuō tuó]
The phrase conveys a deep sorrow and reflection, suggesting that despite having profound feelings (as deep as the ocean), these cannot withstand the ravages of time. It implies that no matter how deeply two people love each other, external forces or the passage of time can still separate them.
