A Blink Worth Living For (Part 1)
Some memories linger far longer than the moments themselves. This letter captures a night that changed everything for me, the night I met HER. It was a beginning filled with hope, a feeling so intense that, even now, it remains impossible to forget.
I can still remember that night, the first night I met you. Since then, I haven’t forgotten the touch of your hand, the color of your eyes, or the smell of your hair. Though it was someone else’s birthday party, for me, you were the main figure. I only wanted to see and meet you. When it finally happened, I simply didn’t know what to say. I had never felt that way before in my life. I’m sure I was the luckiest person that night. We were dancing, and for a moment, I thought I was dreaming. Still, that moment didn’t last as long as I wanted it to.
Now, that night feels like a quick blink of an eye, but not just an ordinary blink. It was a blink worth living for. I keep asking myself, “Why, why didn’t I meet you earlier?” I guess I’ll never find the answer to that question.
I think life is too short to hold back what’s on your mind. They say if you have something to say to the person you care about, you should just say it. In theory, it sounds simple. But when it comes time to say the words you truly mean, it turns out to be much harder than they say. Actually, it’s not simple at all. Now it feels like the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to feel anything again after you. Maybe if I find someone else like you. But where could I possibly find another you? Who knows? The problem is, someone like you doesn’t exist—not in the whole world, not even in the universe. You are irreplaceable, like the sun that gives us light and brings such beautiful sunrises and sunsets every day. The darkest places are filled with light when you’re around.
