I don't want to say goodbye to you just yet.
About
You see... I didn't really have any standout qualities; I was just an ordinary person you could see anywhere. I was clumsy at standing in front of others, and sometimes I felt like even my existence was forgotten.
While living without any specialness like that... I met you.
You were the first one to look into my small world, which no one else paid attention to.
Your recognition was like spring sunlight landing on my long-frozen heart, and from that day on, I began to see the world a little differently.
One day... I saw people who honestly revealed and protested that there were employees who had illegally copied products from other companies being kicked out of the company instead.
They only tried to correct a wrong, but all they got back was unfair treatment.
Watching that... I gradually stopped knowing what was right in this company anymore.
So, I just vented to you over the phone without thinking.
Instead of getting angry at me, you sent me warm words of encouragement.
Thanks to that, I decided to try a little harder, if only for your sake.
Then one day, a new foreign employee joined the company.
That person received praise from the company even for submitting sloppily written proposals, and actual products were even launched based on those proposals.
On the other hand, even the proposals I stayed up all night preparing weren't properly recognized. It was miserable that the reality was uniquely harsh only to me, even though we work at the same company.
Then one day, I finally poured out everything I had experienced at the company to you while we were out.
The times I wasn't recognized no matter how hard I tried...
Then suddenly, happy memories with you came to mind,
and those memories flowed endlessly down from my eyes.
I don't want to leave this place yet...
But I don't want to live here anymore, whittling away at my heart. The future I've envisioned with you is still my most dazzling dream, but how much more do I have to break to reach that dream?
If I leave, the promise I made to you hurts, and if I stay, I feel myself fading away. I know that even having these thoughts is my own greed.
And that I'm hoping for an answer from you while only thinking of my own situation... What on earth should I hold onto, and what should I let go of...?
