Prologue
Do you remember during that summer when we walked along the beach, holding each other's hand. Your hand was bigger than mine.. I used to make fun of you for that but then when we played Othello, I could never win against you. That summer just made my life so complete, even though you were busier than me. While you were in show business, I was working at a clothes shop. You would try to buy all the clothes when the shop didn't gain any profits. That's what I love about you. Smart, funny and sometimes a baka. I was always there for you and you were there for me.
As soon as you got more popular, our lust became more and more dim. I knew that our relationship could never be the same. That's why I decided to break up our relationship between you and I. I was thinking about you and your future, and mine as well.
That day when I met you, I felt it was destiny pulling us together. Like, we were bound by a thread of fate. I know we had our ups and downs but I always loved you. Sometimes I wanted to run away with you, to a place where nothing can break us apart. Instead, you wanted to stay in your spotlight and isolated your true feelings to me and the people you loved. I accepted those feelings and kept my love for you hidden deep inside my heart. I decided to never love you again, until we met again. My heart was already broken in pieces by the time you wanted to see me. I couldn’t afford to lose my heart again. The only thing that I could do was to stay away from you, forever but you kept coming back to see me. I will love you forever and always.
