Hope you have been well. I'll try to read you more often, but I've just been too busy for the past few months. It is a tricky one, but here is my version... 她第一次亲吻我的时候我出生了，她离开我的时候我死去了。她爱我那几个星期的时候我就活着 I took some liberties there, so it's not really a literal translation... But sometimes that might be needed. All the best! Kaisa Hi Frank,

Long long time since I’ve “been” here… Hope you have been well. I’ll try to read you more often, but I’ve just been too busy for the past few months.

It is a tricky one, but here is my version…

她第一次亲吻我的时候我出生了，她离开我的时候我死去了。她爱我那几个星期的时候我就活着

I took some liberties there, so it’s not really a literal translation… But sometimes that might be needed.

All the best!

Kaisa

Well, I’m sure this is not very good, but I thought it would be fun to give it a try:
