The Time Takes You Away

Blue Rainy Station

                     As the pages of your love story continued to turn, life presented both challenges and triumphs. College brought new experiences, but your connection with Hiroto remained unwavering. Despite the demands of academia, the city nights still belonged to the two of you, intertwined with the rhythms of nostalgic melodies.

              In a quaint coffee shop with a vintage jukebox, you discovered a shared passion for vinyl records. The crackling sound of the needle hitting the grooves became a comforting echo, weaving a soundtrack for your shared moments. Together, you explored the hidden gems of the city's record stores, finding rare  albums that became cherished treasures in your collection.

                   Late-night study sessions turned into midnight strolls through the illuminated streets. Underneath the glow of street lamps, Hiroto would pull you into a dance, the tunes playing in your hearts. 

              One summer evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Hiroto surprised you with a rooftop picnic. The city skyline painted in hues of orange and pink served as a backdrop to the feast of city pop tunes and homemade delicacies. Wrapped in the warmth of each other's company, you marveled at the city's beauty and the love that had blossomed between you.

                       As time moved forward, so did your relationship. The initial high school sentiments matured into a deep, enduring love. When life presented challenges, Hiroto's unwavering support became the anchor in the symphony of your existence.

             Years passed, and the city witnessed your journey—from high school sweethearts to young professionals navigating the complexities of adulthood. The city pop vibes remained an integral part of your shared experiences, a constant thread weaving through the fabric of your lives.

           One crisp autumn evening, Hiroto took you to a pop concert featuring a legendary artist you both admired. The atmosphere was charged with the nostalgia of the music that had brought you together. Amidst the sea of fans, Hiroto whispered, "Do you remember the first time we met, and the  tunes that played that night?"

You nodded, a fond smile playing on your lips.

"I want to create a lifetime of memories with you, just like those city pop melodies," he confessed.

In that moment, surrounded by the enchanting sounds of city pop, Hiroto took out a small velvet box. As he opened it, the city lights reflected in the sparkling engagement ring.

"Will you create the next chapter of our love story with me?"

        Tears of joy filled your eyes as you embraced Hiroto, the crowd cheering in the background. The city, with its timeless allure and sentimental vibes, bore witness to the continuation of your love story—a story set to the harmonious rhythms of Japanese city pop, echoing through the city's heart and your intertwined lives.

         And so, your journey continued, an everlasting serenade, with each passing day adding new verses to the melody of your enduring love story.
