To Carl the Fine Arts Boy of UP,
It's my last day today as an exchange student in Ateneo, tomorrow i will go back to Japan, im sorry i didnt tell. I'm not happy because im leaving you, the one and only friend i have, and perhaps my first love.
The Sunken Garden, the warm community of UP, the pancit wanton, the Likot Jeepneys, the Area 31, Aling tinderas, the cats of UP, a keeper and a witness of my fleeting yet short love, will forever be etched in my heart.
I want to thank you for every moment, for every shared smile, and whispered secret. You were the gentle breeze on my sunburnt skin, the shade under which I found my solace.
As I prepare to return to Japan, where winter's breath will once again wrap around me, I carry with me the echoes of our laughter and the memory of sunsets draped in hues of gold and crimson.
Though our paths may diverge, and the miles stretch between us, know that you have imprinted upon me a warmth that no winter can extinguish.
So as I leave this place and return to my homeland, I do so with a heart full of gratitude and affection. The heat of Quezon City may have been too much, but it pales in comparison to the warmth of your presence, which I will carry with me always.
Until we meet again, know that you are my cherished memory, the warmth I hold close against the chill of all that is yet to come. Take care, my friend.
この人生で、あなたと一緒にもっと夕日を追いかけられたらいいのに、カール。"In this lifetime, I wish I could chase more sunsets with you, Carl."
