As the sun sets, our time has finally come to an end. It had been so long my dear friend that I had almost forgotten the curves of your lips, the echoes of your words and the black locks that danced with the wind. But I had carved your scent within my soul that even if I had lost you through the seafoam, the aroma of sandalwood would guide me back to you. Ten years I had endured this solitude and ten years I had accepted it, yet now, here you are again in front of me.
Suddenly I remember our mischievous yet joyous hymns that vibrated through the halls of our dorms. Those late night escapades filled with youthful rebellion, only to be woken up in the early hours of sunrise by thousands of sermons from our favorite teacher. Shoko would be there too, always feigning innocence towards our shenanigans but all of us knew she’s also an accomplice. What a time to be alive, wouldn’t you say? And yet you chose the latter.
Truly, we did drift off to Saturn and Neptune. It had never crossed my mind that we would part ways. There was always a silent forever that lingered between us. Although I knew that each of us had to govern over something we believed in. And with that I could never hold against you. To curse is awfully too forgiving and cruel at the same time. I really wish I could, even if it was my last parting gift. I’ll put an effort to wrap it up in intricate layers of love, regret and nostalgia. Adorn it with a huge obnoxious laced bow, letting it weave tightly onto its body as I pray in empty yearning.
Suguru, I hope when the day comes for our roads to intersect once more, may that life time never let us go. Again and again, I will surely be searching and waiting for you, that I promise. After all, you are my other half. But till then, I shall stand here alone. Without the words of you and I together.
Goodbye my one and only,
Goodbye my bestfriend and
Good night my dearest Suguru.
Till we meet again.
