I'll Wait for You Until You're Seventy

Part One has 14 chapters. The remaining 14 chapters will be in Part Two. Life's great achievements aren't built on love alone. It's having a bond you can entrust your heart to that lets you lower your guard a little, dare to take risks, fight back against the darkness, and protect that small light in your heart amid a wasteland.

But dreams are only dreams, in the end.

No matter how perfect the two people you imagine may be, they can never rival a real embrace in reality.

Love is precious not because it builds a perfect dream, but because two real people are willing to bring the beauty of that dream into reality, little by little.

If only one person can build a dream meant for two, then no matter how grand its warmth, it is ultimately just another form of loneliness.
