我以为可以一直爱着你
[wŏ yĭ wéi kĕ yĭ yī zhí ài zhe nĭ]
The literal translation means 'I thought I could love you forever.' This reflects unfulfilled romantic longing, where someone had once wholeheartedly expected a love to last but faced disappointment due to external forces or misunderstandings. There's a poignant acceptance in admitting reality diverged from initial hopeful projections.
