The Time Takes You Away

Kiss To The Cherry Moon

             As the days turned into weeks, your connection with Hiroto deepened, echoing the melodic progression of a ballad. The shared adventures under the city lights became a staple in your romance, each night revealing a new chapter in the story of your relationship...

                  The meetings evolved into a seamless dance, a rhythm that only the two of you understood. From hidden cafes, to quiet parks bathed in the glow of streetlights, every corner of the city became a backdrop for your shared moments.

             Hiroto's presence became a constant melody in your life. He was the lyricist to your thoughts, the composer of shared laughter, and the vocalist of unspoken emotions. High school drama and teenage norms faded into the background as the connection between you two flourished.

               One evening, as the city embraced the twilight, Hiroto suggested a visit to an intimate jazz bar tucked away in a quiet alley. The dimly lit ambiance, the soulful tunes, and the intimacy of the space created a perfect setting for a heart-to-heart conversation.

             Nestled in a corner booth, Hiroto's eyes met yours, a warmth and sincerity in his gaze that spoke volumes. 

"I feel like we're the only people in this world.." Hiroto mused, a gentle smile playing on his lips.

You couldn't help but smile in return. 

      As the night progressed, conversations flowed like the lyrics of a poignant song. Hiroto shared his dreams, and you revealed the chapters of your life yet to be written. The jazz bar became a sanctuary where vulnerability mingled with the melodies, forging a connection that transcended the confines of high school.

          Days turned into months, and graduation day approached—a bittersweet melody in the symphony of your teenage years. Standing together amidst the sea of caps and gowns, Hiroto whispered, "Our story is just beginning..."

              The prospect of different paths after high school loomed, but the bond you shared remained resilient. Together, you navigated the uncertainties of the future, hand in hand, with the melodies as your guide.

            Post-graduation, the city became the canvas for your shared journey. From college adventures to late-night strolls, the sentimentality of  city pop continued to weave through your lives. The city, with its ever-changing landscapes, mirrored the evolution of your relationship.

In a quiet moment on a rooftop reminiscent of that first night, Hiroto took your hand and looked into your eyes. "Our story may not be conventional, but it's uniquely ours—"

         With those words, he leaned in for a kiss, and in that intimate exchange, the city pop melodies crescendoed, marking a new chapter in your romance—a chapter filled with the timeless allure of Japanese city pop, sentimental vibes, and the promise of an enduring love story.
