If it is like the first time we meet, it means if it is like the first time we meet.

If: if, if; such as: like; first meeting: first meeting

The source is a poem by Nalan Xingde, a poet of the Qing Dynasty, "Mulan Ci? Simulating Ancient Juejue" "Cambodian Friends": "If life is just like the first meeting, why is the autumn wind so sad and painted on the fan?"

Translation: We were supposed to love each other, but instead we became separated and abandoned today.

"If life is just like the first time we met" is the most plain yet emotional sentence in the whole poem. If a relationship is heavy enough in a person's heart, no matter what he experiences in the future. The accident, the moment we first met, will always be clear and unforgettable. And this first meeting, Ciqing was suddenly dragged back to the beautiful memory of first love.
