After the Emptiness Comes Fulfillment

He once turned and left for a distant place to give me a better life, leaving me behind with an emptiness in my heart and loneliness on every breeze. I held on to our memories, waiting through spring, summer, autumn, and winter, through countless dawns and dusks, hoping only that he would return safely and make this journey of love worthwhile. Now, at last, he has come back beneath the starlight, tenderness and regret in his eyes. “I'm home. From now on, we'll never be apart again.” The empty days and the long wait finally turned to joy in this moment of reunion. For the rest of our lives, through every meal and every season, we'll be side by side. After all that emptiness, at last, everything is complete. To all of us who waited for love and finally found our happy ending.
