8월 4일
알지 너와 내가 만났던 날
우린 세상에서
마치 둘만 살고 있는 사람처럼
서로를 바라보며 웃고
아무런 준비조차 없이
시작하게 됐지 끝도 없이
10월 8일

내 마음 한편에
조금씩 자라고 있던
우리에 대한 작은 불만들이
너와 날 처음으로
멀어지게 만들었고 난 겁이 났어
이건 내게
별게 아닌 이야기가 아니야
잊지 못해 적어둔 너와 나의
좋았기도 했고
슬프기도 했던 이야기들
계속 간직하고
이어가고 싶었지만
매일 같이 변해가는
너와 내 모습에 또
섣불리 시작했던 우리로썬
이별하는 게 그나마
좋은 방법이라고 생각해
우리가 다시 볼 수 있다면
1월 20일
우린 결국 헤어졌어
누구의 잘못도
누구의 탓도 할 수 없어
결국 우린 이렇게 끝이 난 거고
꿈만 같았던 어제완 달리
10월 8일
내 마음 한편에
조금씩 자라고 있던
우리에 대한 작은 불만들이
너와 날 처음으로
멀어지게 만들었고 난 겁이 났어
이건 내게
별게 아닌 이야기가 아니야
잊지 못해 적어둔 너와 나의
좋았기도 했고
슬프기도 했던 이야기들
계속 간직하고
이어가고 싶었지만
매일 같이 변해가는
너와 내 모습에 또
섣불리 시작했던 우리로썬
이별하는 게 그나마

좋은 방법이라고 생각해
우리가 다시 볼 수 있다면

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "Calendar" by Espresso speak about a relationship and its ups and downs, as observed through the various days of the year. August 4th is the day the couple met, and they felt as if they were the only two people in the world. They began without any preparation and continued endlessly. On October 8th, small disagreements began to grow and caused distance between them for the first time, leading the singer to feel fear. They were memorable moments, written down and kept as precious memories, both happy and sad. The singer wanted to continue holding onto them, but every day they changed, leading them to the thought that breaking up was the best way out. They finally broke up on January 20th, and while it was nobody’s fault, they couldn't continue. The same small disagreements that began to divide them on October 8th became the reason they grew apart.

This song speaks about the journey of a couple, from happiness to distance and separation, through the perspective of a calendar. The lyrics are deeply emotional, highlighting the nostalgia and love that remains for someone despite the end of a relationship. It is a reflection on the bittersweet nature of love and how we hold onto the moments that define it, both the happy and the sad.
