Sayonara...  さよなら

I'm taking a step to say a farewell, eventually. 

I'm certain now that I'll soon forget about you.. 

At first, I believed that releasing the grip of the moments we shared would be an uphill battle. 

(Of course it did, as they deeply influenced the way I felt about you). 

This belief was rooted in the notion that, I thought I had a place of myself inside you. 

What I didn't realize was that I was just another face in the crowd of friends you held, and our conversations, though meaningful, held only fleeting presence.

How foolish of me to tightly grasp onto all the small details you shared with me. 

In fact, it remains unreciprocated... Once again...

If you were to ask me, "How are you?" 

Here I am, in the midst of a struggle. 

Now, I have realized, eventually....

That's it's one sided feelings of me. 

As I embark on a journey through the fragments of memories that time is slowly erasing.

In a world where you and I were strangers, these recollections, now fading, carry whispers of emotions and stories that I'll soon forget.

Walk beside me through the corridors of reminiscence as I whole : 

A Farewell to Forgotten  

to moments that once held significance but now linger as distant echoes.

It's gradually taking root within me—the realization that the act of forgetting is not an abrupt severing of ties, but a gradual loosening of bonds.

These memories, while once tightly wound around my heart, are gently unraveling as I come to understand that I can't hold onto what was never truly mine to begin with. 

Goodbye, dear... 

I'm making space for new experiences, new connections, and ultimately, new growth. 

Well, yea It's a long and winding journey, but I'm stepping forward with the belief that as these echoes fade, I'm paving the way for a new harmony to emerge in the symphony of my life.

A year has danced by since our paths first intertwined, yet the space between us remains far.

As time has gone by, I've found myself eager to share various aspects of my life with you. 

You've always been such a great listener, showing eagerness to engage with my narratives. 

Your enjoyment in hearing my tales and even laughing at my weirdest jokes has been source of comfort. 

Yet, my feelings for you remain distant, like an unrequited affection. 

Yet, my feelings for you remain distant, like an unrequited affection. 

Amid these enjoyable interactions, there's a shared sense of contentment in our connection.

If it doesn't arise from personal desire, it's somewhat difficult to occur...

Or if it does happen, the outcome will be different...

Have you ever noticed that often, no matter how many times we try something, if we lack the intention, it becomes difficult to accomplish?

Uhmmm well.. That's absolutely true. Especially when it's related to emotions.

Could be any emotion... 

Can we be demanded to like something?

To forget someone a.k.a moving on?

To let go of your dreams?

Well... what else, huh...

If we're being forced, It's merely hard.... 

《Force : make (someone) do something against their will》

'"Just do whatever you want to do" (from a clip of a movie... sorry, I forgot the title, hehe).

Another example, for instance, is when we advise someone in various ways, even sometimes resorting to forcing them. 

It's because we feel like we know what's best for that person. 

Like parents advising their children; or older siblings advising younger ones; forcing you partner to be like ideal partner; and so on. 

Consequently, if someone feels coerced, they won't fully comply. It's not uncommon for people to become defiant when they feel their desires aren't being met and are instead forced to do things they dislike.

Well, that's probably it. Because there are times when we also feel that way, understanding how others should be, but at the same time not wanting to be dictated to...

However, indeed, sometimes circumstances force us to let go.

By the way... often, real-life examples are the most effective advice... rather than mere words.
