Dear best friend,
It’s been a long time, hasn’t it, huh? We probably never had anticipated this future, our present now, as we grew into the adults we are today.
No one probably wanted it to happen either, but the past can never be changed. The only thing we could do is accept it and move on to create a better future.
But dwelling over the past isn’t bad either.
Do you remember the road that we walked down together going to Saotome? I still think of it today.
The path we took each day to our dream underneath the cherry blossoms. We kept walking onward every day, little by little, to get closer to it.
And we left behind memories in our footsteps to never forget that path.
Do you still walk on it today, my friend?
Even though I’m not walking side by side with you anymore, I’m still walking behind you.
Watching you go further than I can with your dream. And I’m really proud of you.
To be honest with you though… my chest hurts and I can’t stop the tears. It hurts a lot because I wanted to reach that dream with you too. I didn’t want to throw those dreams away… I wanted all of us to reach that future together. It really hurts to know that this won’t ever happen because of me.
But even so, I’m not sad over it. Because you managed to keep your smile and moved forward to create a new beginning.
I may never catch up to meet with you again down that path, but I’ll always watch over you and pray for your happiness and success.
Because you’re the very best friend I could ever ask for, Reiji.
Thank you for continuing your dream.
Aine
