He looks a little sloppy, but he always breaks into your life recklessly.
When he was 6 years old, he borrowed the blanket you used to have a picnic. He said he was an involuntary time traveler, and he said you are friends when you grow up. The sun is so beautiful, you need to look up to see his deep brown eyes. Then, at the second you choose to believe, this man, accompanied by the sun, just disappeared little by little.
Waiting started from then.
When you were 12 years old, you started to be jealous of his wife. He smiled and told you that he loved her very much. At the age of 15, he kissed you nervously, after you slapped him. On your 18th birthday, you finally became his woman.
His name was Henry, Henry who disappeared in the next second. And you are Claire, the Claire who is always waiting for Henry to come back.
You said "I've been waiting for Henry my entire life".
But he said "I can't stay". You know it.
You know that he witnessed his mother's car accident, you know that he has been in pain for so many years,
you know that his chaotic past and the inevitable future, you know that he has nothing.
But you still keep waiting. Wait till he can't help but ask you "why? why do you like me?"
"Because you are my perfect guy."
Because you know how this man named Henry loves you. Because you know, even if he goes back and forth in your life, but love never separates.
It's you. Henry.
"Thank you for letting me meet you in the best years of my life. Thank you for all the warmth and memories that you have given me."
