Before our love was gone...
__________________________________________

To my dearest (______),

I don't understand a lot of things

I don't understand why math has letters

I don't understand how words were created

I don't understand the science behind things

I don't understand magic

I don't understand the human body

I don't understand how the world was created

I don't know how life is born

I don't understand how minds work

I don't understand how one feels their emotions

Humans go to great lengths to hide away their heart

The layers must be peeled away piece by piece in order to find it

Do you not think this is more sophisticated than magic?

But most importantly, I want to understand the human heart

And yet, rather than understanding the hearts of millions of people

Yours, is the only one I wish to know

Others aim to solve the riddles of the world

But only you were able to solve the riddle of my heart

This feeling of mutual love gave me the sense of security that I have never felt before

I cry when we're together;

They are tears of indescribable love that I could not let go of

The memory and power of our love have been engraved across my heart and soul

It will never disappear

We had our paths engraved in stone monuments; lasting for thousand of years, yet the romance within remains unchanged

The sun rises every day, just for you

My love for you is the one and only

Whether in the past, present, or future, only one person stands forever cherished in my heart

When passion fades away, you will know true love if you still yearn to be with that person

And I yearn for you every time I breathe

If love is sickness, then I hope I stay sick until the end of my life

"Like the red bean set into a dice, my yearning is etched into my very bones.

My entirety is yours, as my mind, my heart, my soul, needs you to become whole"

The memories are beautiful when the person is around. But when they're gone, the memories become painful;

If memories become the main source of pain, then maybe it's better to never have those memories to begin with

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

There's an old saying that says there is no greater pain than to remember, in our present grief, past happiness.

There's also another saying that says, we need happy memories to cushion the harsh reality.

For some, the regret is not having these memories. For others, they regret their memories being too beautiful.

We cannot avoid regrets, just as we cannot avoid goodbyes.

But all we can do is to hope to cherish what is in front of us, rather than regretting not doing so until it's been lost.
