人已亡心已惘墨已干情已怯
[rén yĭ wáng xīn yĭ wăng mò yĭ gān qíng yĭ qiè]
'The Person Is Gone, The Heart Feels Lost, The Ink Has Dried, And Feelings Have Faded' paints a scene of deep longing intertwined with acceptance. Each element (lost loved one, lost self, dried-up writing materials, and faded affection) adds layers to the theme of loss, nostalgia, sadness, and letting go.
