Only then (그때 헤어지면 돼)

Roy Kim's 'Only then (그때 헤어지면 돼)' is a heartfelt ballad that delves into the complexities and simplicities of love. The song's lyrics emphasize the importance of living in the moment and cherishing the present rather than worrying about an uncertain future. Roy Kim reassures his partner that loving him is not difficult; it simply requires embracing him as he is and enjoying their time together without overthinking what might come next. This perspective is refreshing in a world often preoccupied with planning and predicting outcomes.

The song also touches on the idea of mutual dependence and the fear of losing each other. Roy Kim questions the significance of societal opinions, highlighting that the only thing that truly matters is their love for one another. He suggests that as long as they continue to love each other deeply, they should not be concerned with external judgments or future uncertainties. This sentiment is beautifully encapsulated in the lines, '남들이 뭐라는 게 뭐가 중요해요 / 서로가 없음 죽겠는데 뭐를 고민해요' (What does it matter what others say / When we can't live without each other, what is there to worry about?).

Furthermore, the song acknowledges the possibility of change and the eventual end of their relationship. Roy Kim sings about the potential for one of them to fall for someone else or become accustomed to life without the other. However, he proposes a mature and accepting approach: if that time comes, they will part ways then. This pragmatic yet tender outlook on love and separation is encapsulated in the recurring line, '그때가 오면 그때가 되면 / 그때 헤어지면 돼' (If that time comes, if that time arrives / Then we can part ways). The song ultimately encourages listeners to focus on the present and love wholeheartedly, without being burdened by the fear of an uncertain future.
