Slowly, you disappeared, and we drifted apart… Once, you said, I said, that there was nothing between us. Now, you don’t say, I don’t say, and there’s nothing left to say between us. Slowly, you became calm, and I became silent. Slowly, our dependence faded, the distance grew, communication decreased, care lessened, habits faded, and gradually, everything disappeared.
A Story of Love and Loss:
We forget. No matter how good the friendship, if there’s no contact, it fades away. No matter how deep the love, if it’s not cherished, it breaks apart. Who can wait endlessly, fearing that their heart will grow cold in the waiting? Who can love without regret, fearing that their expectations will only bring tears?
When a name disappears, so does the figure that comes with it. When a heart drifts away, so does the bond. Friends are not meant to be sought only when needed; love is not about realizing the other’s worth after it’s too late. Relationships have their depths, and warmth is found in the effort to protect them; love has its lengths, and only by cherishing it can it endure.
The most fortunate thing in the world is to know someone is thinking of you. The most sorrowful thing is to yearn for someone who doesn’t care about you. The warmth we seek is never one-sided. No matter how tightly you hold on, if there’s no response, it will always feel cold. No matter how much care you give, if it’s not reciprocated, it remains bitter.
Time can prove the authenticity of a heart; the warmth or coldness of a relationship can be tested by life’s storms. Time cannot take away real friendships, nor can it preserve illusions. The passage of time reveals the changes in fate; as we walk a certain path, we gain understanding. Only through some experiences can we truly see some people for who they are.
In life, the most precious thing is a true friend. The hardest thing to let go of is real, sincere emotion. The hardest thing to forget is someone who has touched your heart. The hardest thing to find is someone who truly understands you. No matter how deep the love, if you don’t care for it, it fades away. Many familiar things, if you don’t take the time to cherish them, will gradually be forgotten.
A smile comes because of someone; pain comes because of someone. Emotional stories remind us that once ignored, we grow sorrowful. A simple thought of you brings joy. So, when love is present, cherish it. Loving someone is a beautiful and challenging thing.
Love means giving your heart, being sincere, and staying together with perseverance. Don’t focus too much on gains or losses. Love doesn’t always come with fairness or absolute right or wrong. Learn to tolerate the flaws and mistakes of your partner with an open heart. True happiness is earned little by little, built day by day. Don’t hurt those who love you, and don’t hurt those you love. Being together is a rare bond, and it is precious.
Because, no matter how good a friend is, without contact, the connection will fade. No matter how deep the feelings, without appreciation, it will break.
