This longing to give love to someone, or to receive love from someone special—how terribly the heart yearns, or perhaps someone loves another, but life never gave them time to say so, leaving a restless, unbearable ache that lasts a lifetime, or I love them more than life itself, but why don't they love me even a little, or even if they don't love me back, why can't they at least understand the love that's there, and so on and so on, countless other things... In all these endless lamentations, the weary heart eventually realizes that what happened—happened for the best. What didn't happen...was best left undone...! Because no matter what language we use, no matter how we try to say it—can we ever truly convey all the feelings inside...? What cannot be expressed through words is perhaps better left unexpressed! Ah, life! How many things we must explain to our hearts, convince them of, just to keep living! Beloved, Despite all those hundreds of times I planned in my mind...we never met, all those countless letters I wrote to you...never reached you...though these things caused me much pain, in the end I think, it's good that none of this happened...! Tell me yourself—can we see as much in meeting as we do in not meeting...?! Can words ever express all the things that remain unspoken in the 'heart'...?! Our communication has stopped, but my love will remain ever-flowing...until death! You must take care of yourself. Seeing you well makes me happy. They say crying lightens the heart! Who says such things? I see that every day my heart only grows heavier... Though our opinions never aligned, there was truly a meeting of minds. I never got to touch you, yet in this life, except for you, nothing else has ever truly touched me. I love thinking of you. I love feeling you. I love loving you. ...I love suffering while doing all these things. The pain I've gained from not having you, That much gained has kept my life from ruin. Ah, life...!
Ah, life...!
