This started when I was doodling with my calligraphy practice. The first line, a common phrase is what that led me to cap it as a couplet...
嵗月不留人, Time retains no one,
春風皆是夢. All the winds of spring are just memories.
水流往日事, Flowing with time flows the days of old,
遲早化成空. Sooner or later, nothingness they shall be.

A few days later, I began to write another version with the restriction of the first two lines as a couplet removed. I just wanted to have more rhyming and as such, the rhyming scheme is changed and content on a more personal level.
嵗月不留人, Time retains no one,
春宵舊日尋. For a night of spring is to seek the days of old.
醉夢從前事, In drunken stupor, I dream of yesteryears.
醒後雨淚恨. And upon awakening, in torrential tears of regret.
