About

I was truly lucky. For a long time after we broke up, I lived by holding onto the traces you left behind. The streets we walked together, the cafes we frequented, and the seasons you loved were all still by my side. We loved each other, but eventually, we parted ways. It doesn't matter anymore who was at fault first. We hated each other as much as we loved, and in the end, we had to let go of each other's hands. After letting you go, I tried to live my life as if nothing was wrong. But not long after, I found out about my illness. They said it was a disease where I would gradually lose the memories of the things I wanted to remember most. It's quite ironic, isn't it? That I, who suffered because I couldn't forget you, am now forgetting you. I wanted to remember you until the very end. The day we first met, the moments you laughed in my arms, even the tears you shed on the day we finally broke up. I didn't want to lose any of it. But memories faded one by one, regardless of my heart's desires. Some days your name wouldn't come to mind, and some days your face became a blur. Yet, strangely, when I heard a song you liked, tears would fall for no reason. I was truly unlucky. Just as enough time had passed for me to finally move on and live, now even the memories I don't want to forget are disappearing against my will. Even if I happen to run into you someday, I probably won't recognize you. Even if you call my name, or talk about the times we loved, I will only look at you like a stranger. That is what I fear most. More than the fact that we broke up, I'm afraid I'll pass by you—who was once my entire world— without feeling a single thing. Still, I hope for one thing. Even if the day comes when I can't remember you, I hope you won't hate me. Because the time we spent loving each other doesn't become a lie. I didn't want to forget you. Because I loved you even after we broke up. Even though I knew we couldn't go back, you were always there in a corner of my heart. So please, stay well. Even if I can no longer remember you, please don't forget that I was the person who loved you the most. I am forgetting you, but once, you were the most beautiful memory in my life. - To my Guest, whom I loved with my whole world.
