untouchable lover

I also had an untouchable lover. This video was originally recommended to me by him. I had just returned home and he was in Europe. As a Westerner who has never been to the East, he can understand the subtle and turbulent emotions in Japanese animation better than I do.

We had never met in person before and were in daily contact by letter. Unable to touch, I can only hide behind the cold computer screen and rely on video and text to express my inner thoughts. Every day, we are saddened by distance and an untouchable future. I agreed to watch at the same time, and I was very envious. Although Ah Yin can't touch humans, at least he can walk side by side with the girl he loves in the woods, smiling and talking face to face.

Beautiful feelings sometimes do not need touch to maintain, and it is precisely because of various restrictions and regrets that they are more cherished. Although far apart in time and space, the heart is closer.

In an accident, Ah Yin is about to disappear. He was finally able to hug the girl he loves the most, and even though this moment was fleeting, the happiness and meaning it brought became the eternity of Ah Yin and the girl.

We work hard for different reasons, we are busy, and let all kinds of things fill the limited, never-returning time of each day, meaningful and meaningless. If today we will disappear like Ah Yin and turn into fluorescent dots in the night sky, what would we most want to do? I want to tell my family my love for them, and I want to hug a lover that I can't touch.

He thought so too.

So we decided to meet, even if there may be no future, even if we will be hurt, we should continue to walk in our respective lives without regret.

Before leaving, he made a slideshow file for me, with a picture of Ah Yin attached, and he said, "I finally want to be able to touch you. If I disappear tomorrow, this will be my only, last wish."

I can finally touch you

If tomorrow I will disappear, this will be my last wish

This reason is enough for me to marry him.

We didn't disappear from each other's lives. Because of cherishing, we have survived the darkest times, overcame many obstacles, and worked hard to become lovers within the reach of each other. I hope that when we are about to leave this world, we can be like Ah Yin, hugging the people we love, leaving only a happy smile and no regrets.
