They met in this season, and the plane trees shared their secret. They sat side by side in a sea of lavender. If you don't come, I'll wait forever, through one blooming season after another. They wandered through the corners of campus on the breeze. You stayed with me as I grew up, so I'll stay with you as we grow old. Eight years later, I brought you back to this sea of flowers. Your presence felt so close, yet I couldn't touch you. Even though you were on the other side of the world, I would still walk beside you. Ji Yu, you once said you'd rather be a leaf with gear-like edges, falling toward the setting sun with an awkward, foolish grin, than act clever, strip away every disguise, and reveal only the desolation of an honesty with no resolution. You said you were always searching for that beam of light in your life, and I am willing to be that light for you forever, even if tomorrow is gone and you are gone.
Fighting! Awesome.
