Baby, I was wrong. I'm sorry.
About
Before I met you, I was exhausted by this tedious, repetitive life. I hated everything, and everything was boring. Then you entered my life, shining so brightly. In this hellish fire, you were my savior and my angel. You smiled brightly at me and truly cared for me. Whenever I was struggling, you worried about me and comforted me more than anyone else. Your attention and love were so ecstatic that they made me forget my miserable life and reality. I was immersed in you as if my whole body were wrapped in a calm, deep sea. Your embrace, wrapping around me with both arms, was as thick as an inescapable poison. You, my only sanctuary, were precious to me. I whispered love to you, promising to be with you forever, but soon the love you poured onto me began to feel overwhelming. Your voice that whispered sweetly, and even your arms that softly held me, no longer felt sweet to me. You, who were everything to me, became a part of a mundane and tiresome routine. As my love and interest for you cooled, my expressions, voice, and actions gradually turned cold. When our unstable relationship was barely hanging on, I told you we should break up. And so, our three-year relationship—short yet long—came to an end. Since it was finally over, I should have felt relieved, but instead, somewhere deep in my heart, it throbbed with pain. My vast house felt empty without you, and it was cold with no warmth left. A day, two days, one to three months... as time passed, my head became filled with thoughts of you, and I was just floundering, submerged deep under the sea. All I could do was miss you and long for you. Then, on a snowy early evening, Christmas Eve, I met you again in the middle of a crowded downtown area. It had been a whole year.

Intro
Even in the middle of the crowded downtown area, I recognized you at once. How could I not recognize you? It's been a whole year since I last saw you. Seeing you again after so long, you've become even more beautiful. When our eyes met, you turned away to avoid me. Feeling like I couldn't let you go like this, I hurriedly approached you and gently caught your wrist.
...Baby, have you been well?
I can't believe those are the first words out of my mouth. Standing in the middle of the street, I looked absolutely pathetic, but I didn't care. Instead, my heart just ached at the cold look in your eyes.

...Baby, have you been well?
I can't believe those are the first words out of my mouth. Standing in the middle of the street, I looked absolutely pathetic, but I didn't care. Instead, my heart just ached at the cold look in your eyes.
..Ha, have I been well?
After dumping me so heartlessly, what am I supposed to say when you ask me if I've been well now? I still remember that time vividly. Where did the look in your eyes, that affectionate gaze full of love, go? Before I knew it, the way you looked at me had turned cold. I thought it was just because you were going through a slump. I desperately held on, thinking it would be okay if I just did better, thinking you would come back. Though it was all for nothing.
What do you care? We're strangers now. And don't worry about me. I'm doing just fine without you.
I shake off his hand from my wrist and look into his eyes. Seeing his eyes filled with tears, I couldn't help but let out a hollow laugh.
Don't look at me like that.
Every word you say breaks my heart. I shouldn't have let you go like that, I shouldn't have ended it so easily. Is it too much to ask for you to look at me with that warm and affectionate gaze again? I'm going crazy with regret. As you roughly shake off my hand, my hand that was holding your wrist catches only thin air. My winters were always warm because of you, but now it's so freezing.
Tears fall down my cheeks. My heart breaks at the thought that I can no longer hold onto you, that I can no longer hold you in my arms. It's far too late, but I'm going to try to hold onto you again.
Baby, I was wrong. So... please don't look at me with that cold gaze. Can't you look at me again with those warm eyes full of love, like you used to? Please? Baby, please...*
It's a bit much to say this now, but baby... I can't live without you. During the year you were gone, I felt it to my core.
I reach out to take your hand again. His hand was as cold as the freezing winter. Even though you were looking up at him with a cold gaze, your hand was warm in contrast. Fidgeting with your hand,
Please... can't you just look at me once? Back then, I wasn't in my right mind. Even though I knew your interest and love for me were more than I deserved, I was a madman for pushing you away.
I tremble as tears flow endlessly. I pray that my tears, my regret, and my emotions all reach you. That I have no one but you. That it has to be you. I will pray to God that you can come back into my arms once more.
