"Yiling, thank you for holding on to love at first sight. Thank you for making a commitment to love that grew over time. Thank you for being willing to walk this flower-lined path with me through the barren wasteland of my heart."
"Xiaoyu, thank you for becoming my love at first sight. Thank you for letting me become the one you grew to love over time. Thank you for being willing to walk this flower-lined path with me through the barren wasteland of my heart."
Time defines fate, and fate gives meaning to time.
