Beautiful Short Love Story : Because I Love You

Because our years-long relationship ended, I left the city I lived in and moved to a new one.

However, a year later, I returned, intending to start anew, but…

It seemed like fate was toying with me; happiness came quickly and left just as swiftly.

One scorching afternoon, I met her. Although she seemed unremarkable that day, her smile left a deep impression on me, making me feel secure, like a wandering drifter finding a place to belong.

Over time, we got to know each other. Once, after I had drunk alcohol the previous night and wanted porridge the next morning, she couldn’t buy any and came to my place to make it for me. Watching her clumsily fussing around in the kitchen filled me with immense happiness and joy.

Though the white taro porridge wasn’t particularly tasty, it was the best to me. A girl, lazy to the point of having a chronic condition and not very good at cooking, went to such lengths for me, and I was delighted.

We learned a lot about each other. After much encouragement, I confessed my feelings to her, despite my previous heartbreak.

The confession was simple, but she accepted. It felt like sunlight breaking through dark clouds. Quietly, I wanted to protect and cherish her.

However, happy times are always so short, like a rainbow after the rain. To see a rainbow, you must endure the storm’s trials to witness its beauty.

I met the right person at the wrong time and will never meet the right person at the right time again. Since my feelings are no longer complete, there’s no need to hold onto them anymore; it only hurts both of us.
