The Evening Breeze Remembers Us

There was no place for the depression and worries at home. She wandered alone in the stadium at dusk until the boy who loved playing football crashed into her gray youth. From the lime gummies in the geography book, to the little white shoes that were stepped on and then gently coaxed during duty; from the early morning when pancakes were delivered to each other, to the secret gaze that could not be hidden between the desks; from the way he carried her back through the evening breeze, to the image of the piggy balloon that had been treasured for many years in the square... They had been lovers and close friends, wandering on the edge of ambiguity. She went to them several times, but only received gentle rejection. She thought it was because she wasn't bright enough or good enough that she couldn't keep up with him. It wasn't until he officially announced his new relationship that she realized that the heart-pounding love that lasted throughout her youth was nothing but regret. Those loves hidden in the wind and the tenderness engraved in time will be remembered by the evening breeze forever. And she will eventually reconcile with the years and learn to be her own light.
