Slowly, the world that had been locked away in ice begins to melt. As a new season awakens, so do you.
The stopped clock will begin to tick once again. At first, maybe you’ll be surprised that you’re all alone. Maybe you’ll be nervous and start to cry. You might even think that it would have been better if you hadn’t woken up at all.
But that’s not true.
The truth is, nothing is a waste.
And my love is mixed into the very blood that flows in your veins.
There you have the proof that someone once loved you. So there is no way you could ever be truly alone.
If you began to sing in your gentle voice, this white scenery would immediately be bathed in vivid color. Your hair would be decorated with flowers that just came into bloom, your cheeks would turn the color of roses. As sweet scents tickled your nose, you’d take a step onto the newly-green earth, and leave behind your cold bed.
The truth is, whether it was destiny or a cursed bond, I wanted to be there at your side. I wanted to lead you by the hand when you were scared. To whisper to you, “It’s going to be okay.” To hold you.
I wanted to split that bright red apple in half. I wanted to keep going on, without extinguishing that tiny flame of life.
But we had to make a choice. We always have to choose the fate that we think is the best one in that moment.
So, no matter how it all turns out, let’s both promise to smile.
Pinky swear to me that any longings for the impossible, or even regrets, will be split in half between us.
Look, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom now. They’re looking down on you. Don’t be frightened of those warm rays of sunlight.
No matter how lonely you are right now, you must open that door and go forward.
So that someday, we will surely meet again.
And so that you can love.
