She Said: The Sea

[Girls' Love + Bad Ending + Retrospective First-Person Narration + Pure Love]

I've been to the seaside many times. Alone.

I stood on the beach of your dreams, watching the tide roll in and recede again and again, like fate, impossible to hold on to. The seawater isn't always blue. Sometimes it's gray and overcast, like my mood. The sea breeze was strong, tossing my hair, which I'd tried so hard to tie up like yours.

Facing the vastness you had longed for all your life but never got to see with your own eyes, I whispered, "Song Rui, look. This is the sea."

There was no answer, only the cries of gulls and the sigh of the waves.

But I think I could hear your laughter mingling with the wind. You said, "Li Yu, isn't it wonderful?"

Yes, it is. Just like you.
