Only Then Did I Realize How Deeply Our Memories Are (Unrequited Love Comes True)

“So many years have passed.

You’ve always resided in my wound,

I have let go of everything in the world,

But I have never let go of you.

The thousands of mountains and rivers in my life,

You bid farewell to them one by one.”

The long, suffocating time—those dull and enduring torments. It cruelly merges with time, and no matter where I go, it occasionally emerges, reminding me that everything has ended, but love still persists. In the years without you, I will slowly stew in the remaining years of my life. All my joy and bustle will become silent and sorrowful in an instant of remembering you, cold like ashes.

Years later, where will you be, and what kind of scenery will be by your side?

“Whether I love you or not, time will pass the same. In this tumultuous, undercurrent-filled river of time, I stubbornly choose you, to be the deep, unfathomable, and unhealable wound in my heart.”

Until one day, Heaven finally grants my wish and places you back by my side. The deepest sorrow from all these years suddenly has no reason. It’s like recovering from an illness, with my chest still carrying the lingering pain of yesterday. But it is already healed. When the first ray of light seeps through the crack in the window, it feels like a rebirth.
