Am Anfang war das Feuer

In the beginning was the fire

so heiss wie ein Vulkan

so hot as a volcano,

in deinem Blick war pure Zärtlichkeit

in your look was pure tenderness.

und als die Sonne aufging

And as the sun came up

war alles um uns her

all around us

als ob die Welt neugeboren wär.

was as if the world was reborn.

Deine Nähe ist mir heute so vertraut

Today being near you is so familiar to me,

aber wo ist dieses Kribbeln auf der Haut

but where is that tingling on the skin?

Ich geb nie auf

I never give up,

und ich glaub an grosse Träume

and I believe in great dreams,

denn oft ist in der Asche

because often in the ashes,

noch immer etwas Glut

there is always some glow yet.

wenn du es willst

If you wish it

fangen Rosen an zu blühen

roses start to bloom,

komm fang mit mir noch einmal an

come begin with me again,

weil ich an uns noch glauben kann

because I can still believe in us

komm flieg mit mir noch einmal hoch hinauf

Come fly high with me yet again,

ich geb nie auf

I never give up.

Am Anfang war das Feuer

In the beginning was the fire,

nicht nur für eine Nacht

not just for one night

was haben wir für Pläne oft gemacht

What kind of plans did we often make?

wir suchten neue Sterne

We searched for new stars,

die keiner vor uns sah

which no one saw before us

daß so ein Glück für immer hält, war klar

that so a happiness stays forever, was clear

wenn ich heute Nacht in deinen Armen frier

if I freeze in your arms tonight,

bin ich einsam und ich such den Grund dafür

I am lonely and I search for its reason.

Ich geb nie auf

I never give up,

und ich glaub an grosse Träume

and I believe in great dreams

Of gossipers and toxic people

You know what? Gossipers never ask me about things, but they tend to ask those who interacted with me before. And from there they jump to their own conclusions.

M's advice on this topic and related stuff:

Meet new people.
See if you like.
Get out of the old zone of people if you are no longer happy.

No, no, don't think like that.
Don't say that about yourself.
Don't care what other / some / [fill in the blank] people think.

Take up a new hobby, forget [fill in the blank].
Never mind. Move on.
Leave the old. Start fresh.
Start a new life.
Prove the stupid [fill in the blank] people wrong.

If you know who the gossipers are, then stay away from them. These people are 小人。("Xiu Yan")

I never liked the people there actually.
I don't like the vibe there.
Then move away from it.
Do something new.
Forget the past, enjoy your [fill in the blank] and move on.

Before you can (find back some part of your old happy self, the part that can be carefree and accepting of who you are), you have to let go of the unhappiness.

You move on to live happily.

Forget about [fill in the blank].
[Pronoun] doesn't deserve you at all.
[Pronoun] doesn't deserve your compassion.
If [name] had been through that much then [subject pronoun] should know that it is not right to put you down.
If [pronoun] had really been through so much, anything that comes to [object pronoun] should be heaven.
[Subject pronoun] won't be fussy.

If [subject pronoun] is a survivor, [subject pronoun] will work with you to make both your lives better. Not make you feel miserable.

[Name] doesn't deserve your time.
And you definitely should not feel bad about what [pronoun] said. Because [pronoun] is the [adjective] one here.
Just ignore [object pronoun].

Move forward with a positive mind.
