曲还未终人却散情海未淡
[qŭ hái wèi zhōng rén què sàn qíng hăi wèi dàn]
With its poignant sentiment, 'Before the Song Ends People Have Gone Yet Feelings Aren’t Faded' implies there are unfinished business, unclosed chapters left hanging. The feeling of love, friendship, or affinity hasn’t dissipated yet but circumstances forced apart relevant persons prematurely. One is left pondering what could have been if the situation wasn't cut off so abruptly.
