never let you alone

Tommy, it's been two weeks since you left me, and I've been notified for my first organ donation. How I wish there was a figure on the edge of the line of sight, until your face was clearly visible, just like countless times you ran back to me, as if the joys and sorrows, whether we care about it or not, will grow there on their own, always Coiled around our hearts, if you meet Ruth, tell her that I have never blamed her. If those paths are destined, we should support each other until the end.
Since we grew up together, there should have been many reasons enough to make me cry, but that time, when Mrs. Lucy stood in the classroom and said those words, I just frowned, I saw your face , and the brave run to pick up the paper that was blown on the ground by the wind. I know that you are brave enough to pull me through this short life, I am not afraid of obscurity, and I have never thought how dazzling it will be, just with you, just like the lyrics of the tape you gave me, never let me go. I understand what Mr. Lucy means. We are not destined to be ordinary people. The purpose of our life is to die. Our own body abandons the soul, in fact, I am not afraid of these, because of your existence. However, I cried. That was the speech of the principal on the stage after Mrs. Lucy left. I was not in the mood to listen. No matter how nice or direct those words were, they were meaningless. The purpose of our existence in Hayerson was clear at a glance. I cried because I saw you and Ruth holding hands. At that moment, I was an outsider. I couldn't hold back my feelings. I wanted to take a deep breath to calm down, but to no avail. I still cried. This feeling is better than knowing my own destiny. Still uncomfortable because I know you don't belong to me.
According to the rules, we left Hayerson at 18 in 1985 and sometimes thought maybe it's part of life that you don't belong to me, part of this life that I can't do, just like the three of us are still together, you, Ruth And me, and you never broke up. This township is filled with people just like us, and we met a couple whose donations are about to begin, Chrissy and Loney. Perhaps only the instrument we wear on our wrists is the voice of our existence, and just hearing the sound it makes is a change that condemns us to powerlessness, and these voices seem even more lonely and piercing after we accompany Ruth to find his deity, but I Knowing that our hearts are full of hope, although Ruth's deity has not been found, Chrissy and Loney have said such rumors that if a couple of Hayerson can prove that they are in love, they can apply for a deferred donation, and there is a pair of It worked. We can't confirm many of Hayerson's rumors, and this is the first time we've heard that if you have love, you can live a few more years.
After that I walked with you in the jungle, you were still happy like a deer, until I sat down and you said in front of me that you knew the meaning of those galleries in Helsing, that is to testify to our love, that can be tested The depth of the soul measures our true and false. I was so excited then that you said you and Ruth couldn't apply. I thought I really thought you would say that you and I are true love, but you didn't. You said that because you didn't have your paintings selected for the gallery in those years, you couldn't investigate. I don't want to listen anymore and can't listen anymore, Tommy, you've really let me down, maybe I shouldn't have hoped for it in the first place. I don't want to talk about everything after that. I live in thoughts of you every day, but you are with Ruth. If I witness your happiness, it is also worth bearing. I choose to leave. It's not because of what Ruth said, you have to admit it's our choice, just like you always chose Ruth, completely disregarding my friendship with you, so I'm leaving because you can't keep me .
In 1994, I applied to be a caregiver, which is to take care of every donor, but I can only postpone the donation, but I still can't escape that fate. It was only after I left that I found out that you broke up. It's been ten years, and we haven't been in touch with each other. It is obviously a part of life, but it still has strong resistance. I went to try and take care of everyone until that day when I saw Ruth, who had made two donations and was very weak. We said we were going to the beach together, and she suggested calling you. When I saw you, you still didn't change, except for the short hair, in good health, and made two donations, I couldn't help hugging you, but you took the initiative to walk up to Ruth, yes, maybe between us This is always the case.
Well, my dear, I miss you very much. I want to give you all the years of missing. If I can't call the shots in my life, all my love is yours. We were together, really, I didn't dream, and Ruth said please forgive her for blocking it and gave me the address of our applicant. I can have you now, I can sleep beside you, kiss your forehead, as if you have always belonged to me, even if we are separated for a minute, I can't escape these thoughts, I love you.
We got ready to paint and went to see the wife and the principal, who were said to be applicants. You took my hand and went together, I seemed to see the brave you once again, but this time it was for our love. In fact, I can't fully agree with the meaning of the gallery you said, but there is a glimmer of hope that I will not give up with you, so we went, and you were disappointed. I know my dear, don't be irritable, in fact, we originally What you can't control is your life and me, in every inch of darkness and light, I didn't let myself leave you, I want you to know that even if the rumors are false at the moment, even if you die tomorrow, don't Afraid, with me, you always have.
Ruth has left, and you have left me after three donations. I often think about what Ruth said at the beach, she didn't want to be a lonely person, but I was never afraid of being single, because with you in my heart, even in the days when I never met, it's the days when I lost you like this . I also often think of my own meaning, just like the principal said later that the existence of the gallery is not to test our souls, but to see if we have souls. If it is not meaningful for us to die for the continuation of other people's lives, I would rather choose You are the meaning of my life, that every time I am alone with you, I want time to stop. They say that such a landscape is a painting, and we are the people in the painting, without any proof, no one can judge our love, just At this moment, I miss you very much, I miss you very much, and I will also leave here to go to you. Maybe the missing part of our own body is made up by each other, and then we will be alone. Then promise me next time, never let me go again.

Also, it's a pleasure to meet your smile, it's beautiful.

Never Let Me Go quotes

  • Kathy: It had never occurred to me that our lives, which had been so closely interwoven, could unravel with such speed. If I'd known, maybe I'd have kept tighter hold of them and not let unseen tides pull us apart.

  • [first lines]

    Kathy: My name is Kathy H. I'm 28 years old. I've been a carer for nine years. And I'm good at my job. My patients always do better than expected, and are hardly ever classified as agitated, even if they're about to make a donation. I'm not trying to boast, but I feel a great sense of pride in what we do. Carers and donors have achieved so much. That said, we aren't machines. In the end it wears you down. I suppose that's why I now spend most of my time not looking forwards, but looking back, to The Cottages and Hailsham, and what happened to us there. Me. Tommy. And Ruth.
