That era has passed, and now to whom should I tell whose thoughts occupied my heart morning and evening?

This couplet captures the quiet ache of nostalgia and the loneliness of carrying a secret from the past. The poet looks back at a time when someone completely consumed their heart morning and night, yet that entire era has now slipped away. There is a tender sorrow here—the realization that there is no one left in the present who could truly understand just how deeply they once loved.
