YURI

I wished I had the courage to ask you to stay before you left.

The bucket hat you gave me, I wore it every day until it didn't fit my head anymore. But I still have it.

Everytime I talk to you on the phone, I can only talk to you with joy in my voice. I don't ever want you to know that I was in the darkest days of my life.

I don't want you to feel that I need you. But... I do. I did.

The first time we had a video call, I wanted to touch your face. I wanted to hold it like how I used to and say 'Sica-yah... Why are you so pretty?'

I wanted to tell you that I'll be here. I'll be waiting.

But after finding someone with whom I get to share pieces of me that I only used to share with you, my waiting ended.

But now I wish you'd come back. And I hope I'll have the courage to ask you to stay.

Will you stay this time for me?

Or maybe, I'll have the courage to leave this hell... for you. With you.
