Only memories and imagination make me feel alive

honey, are you listening? Can you hear my inner voice? I'm sitting by the window right now, with my back to the outside world, staring at the screen, and slowly typing out what I want to say, you can hear it, if you want to hear me, right?



I'm also not sure what I'm trying to say, I'm not really sure what I'm really trying to say at the moment, like I don't know if you're the one my dear dear. However, I have so many sighs, overwhelming like rain, but I don't know where to start.



There's really no way I could watch a movie like this twice in the same day, I'd be suffocating with sadness. Although it was a sadness performed by a stranger, it was spliced ​​into countless pictures by the director, which locked my pupils and could not turn them. I see your eyeballs are rolling, your eyes are blinking, but unfortunately, you can't move my eyes.



Honey, maybe I shouldn't be so sensitive, because growing up requires us to disguise ourselves as indestructible iron men. However, we have always been extremely unloved children, and we still lose control and can't help showing our weakness.



Honey, do you remember? When you walk slowly through the crowded square, do you carefully count every shadow passing by in front of you? Honey, do you remember? Have you ever watched the bubbles in a glass of beer rise and fall for hours one night?



When our bodies gradually change, I have stopped it, and the changes have made me uncomfortable. But I adapted to this change faster than anyone else. I was dragged into adulthood without even thinking about what I did in the last minute. Thankfully, I didn't become paralyzed. I have not lost the ability to act. After the movie, I only thought of listening to the song within temptetion, and the song are you the one that I have heard countless times. I, want to die.

The first sentence the actor said to the outside world made me feel like a knife.

In the end, choosing to live in cycles is actually far more than you, me, him.

How many late nights I miss someone, someone who can't love me, someone who can't give me a little love, and then I try to forget.

I watch the old me fade away, I watch the old you fade away.



My dear, if I were the lover who did not dare to come to see you, I think I would never come to see you, because loss is always the most beautiful and unforgettable thing.

I know you're waiting for me all the time, and I know I'm not going to see you.

Preserving your most beautiful time, cherished in my eternal memory, is the only wait I can bear.
