The World Is So Big, It’s Still Possible to Meet You
Knowing today's weather tells me about tomorrow's, just like seeing you lets me know the future self.
Regarding youthful heartaches, I never wanted to express them too directly, perhaps a trace of shyness within, coupled with youthful fantasies, adding a layer of sugar to my secret admiration.
I often wondered when I first began to understand the word 'like.' Perhaps it was every casual, gentlemanly gesture, making me feel different from the crowd towards you.
I'm an introverted person, not one for talking much, and I have just a few close friends. I was chosen as the quietest person in the graduating class, while you always managed to notice me. I remember when I was about to rush into the rain after a public lecture, you offered me your only umbrella just as I was about to step into the rain. Embarrassed, I didn't dare to take it, so I rushed into the rain. I often liked to watch the scenery out of my window, and you always sat in a seat other than yours, watching the scenery with me. I wondered if you wanted to know what I was looking at. When I asked a girl a math problem during late self-study, you ran over to explain it to me without hesitation, taking my notebook and explaining it to me. I must have been very flustered, trying to control my emotions, and I didn't even listen to what you were saying. On graduation day, you took my hand, and I thought it was our final farewell.
If it weren't for the confession on April Fool's Day, I might have continued to write about the beautiful chapters of my secret admiration. And it was that moment that I was so grateful to heaven for liking the person I liked, but if I could choose again, I wouldn't make a confession, because I realized that with all my affection and a peaceful love without arguments, it would eventually end.
Just like when you asked me about my feelings for 'The Love Water Wood,' I hoped we could be as lucky as the protagonists in the film, and eventually, it was you. Now, I think, even if we are together in the end, and eventually return to the way we were back then, the film's ending is too idealized. It's better to part ways, letting the other person be a memory. That's the best ending.
The youth you appeared in my life was a gift of fate, making me willing to leave my own world and come to a world with you. I'm grateful that you could listen to my heart, and I'm grateful that you could also tell me your heart's desires.
