I'm waiting for you in the future

In the end, he left, and no matter how much time stopped, it couldn't change the fact of separation.
Fortunately, it is summer, fortunately the sun is shining, and fortunately they are invincible youth.
No more regrets, the number of times to go back in time has run out. Life cannot go back and forth endlessly.
The girl who was panicked and late every morning, and the baseball under the blue sky and white clouds in the afternoon are already the best memories. Even if he leaves, what remains is a warm and refreshing aftertaste.
This is youth, youth is the summer of that year, the boy in the white shirt, the bicycle in the summer, the confession in the summer.
It's all going to leave, whether time waits for someone or not, whether we can travel through time and space, it's all going to leave.

I like that scene the most, Qian Zhao's farewell.
The world stopped for them, the streets crowded with hurried people, the anxious tramway, the quiet museums, the parks where no one was silent.
The world stopped for them.
At that time, only you and me, no matter how big the world is, only you and me.
Only we are fresh and agile, and everything around us, because of this dimness, automatically disappears in color and life.
The whole world is dark.
Only you are in front, walking slowly, through the crowd, leading me, we are the only two lives in the city.
You say goodbye to me, outside the crowd, you see the boy's white hands.
The bicycle carried the hand I had when I confessed, and the hand I played baseball.
Outside the crowd, raised up and waved to say goodbye.
That moment means goodbye, the only connected life in this dark world.

The story does not end because of this desperate parting, and everything goes back to the past.
The scene repeated over and over again, the science laboratory, the baseball field, the classroom where the exam was suddenly taken, the girl who was anxious for confession under the big tree.
Everything is still in place.
Do it all over again, but only to send him away, not to force him to stay.
Although, she has already admitted it, she likes it.
Give him the machine that reverses time.
The golden river and the golden evening were mistaken for a couple. It was the beginning of romance, but it couldn't change the fact that they had to separate in the end.
Good to see you off, red-haired boy. He said, I am waiting for you in the future.
Does Makoto know where the future is?

I like her running posture, the first time I tried to jump into the river, when I jumped off the roof to help Gongsuke.
Never hesitated, always full of courage and enthusiasm, endless cheerfulness and sunshine.
Even if I like you, I have to make it clear and let you leave, because I know you can't stay.
With the last warm hug and the last tear falling, he said: I am waiting for you in the future.

If life can come back endlessly, then I think, fix my life on a certain summer forever.
Light shirts and skirts, never leave the sun, never pay attention to the growth of the haze and the imperfect life.
