Flowing into the River

She has been in love with him for fifteen years, and they have only met five times. Until now, she still doesn't know how such a relationship can happen and remain unchanged. She never knows why she can only feel happy and sad for him after experiencing such deep pain and loneliness for so long, and why she still loves him without hesitation. It has been fifteen years since he said to her in front of her for the first time: "I love you!", And for the first time he said to her in front of her: "Let's get married!" However, when she heard such words, she was not extremely excited, nor was she ecstatic, nor was she surprised or confused. Perhaps the pain of longing for many years has already condensed into the existing quiet surface, and the still water runs deep. Or maybe she felt that everything would be like this from beginning to end, and he would say such words at a certain moment and place. She looked at his face quietly and said nothing. She just wanted to be quiet like this.
