样名千古只为曾经
[yàng míng qiān gŭ zhĭ wéi céng jīng]
Translates closely to 'Such name for millennia, only for what once was'. It implies cherishing the past, perhaps a love or a friendship, so profoundly that it transcends time, wanting nothing more than to honor and recall memories through eternity, even though things cannot return as before.
