Chapter 13: All or Nothing
By the time you read this letter, I think I'd be dead.
I've been looking forward to your return every day since you left. When it's okay, I often stand at that intersection and look at you.
More than twenty years have passed, and you're back.
The person I loved for half my life and waited for half my life, you are still back.
I was happy and sad at the same time. I'm glad you're back to see me again, but I'm sad that this time I've been waiting for twenty years.
I often stand at that intersection waiting for you, and now that I'm old and my legs are bad, I moved a stool and continued to sit there waiting for you.
I'm afraid that one day you will come, and you will be disappointed not to see me waiting for you.
In twenty years, it can dilute all the past, and it can also corrode all affection.
Twenty years later, thank you very much for remembering me and for staying with me.
But you still have to go, even if I am reluctant to give up, even if you are nostalgic. You still don't plan to stay, and I still can't keep you.
Oh, yes! How can I keep you?
In fact, after so many years of feelings, I also want to let go, but I can't do it. And my love for you has been integrated into my blood and penetrated into my bones.
I thought you'd come to see me often after you left.
As a husband and wife or as friends, you will come to my house and sit down.
But you didn't, I'm really disappointed.
But that's what I shouldn't want!
You're leaving, and I'm going crazy just thinking about it. And this time, when do you plan to come back?
This time, I don't think you'll come again.
I love you.
Do you know?
Countless midnight dreams, it's all you. I often dream that you come back, and you are always in a hurry to leave, just like in the dream.
Don't go, okay?
But you won't listen, because she's waiting for you. I know you have a happy family and a lovely pair of children.
But all I have is you.
I've been missing you so much all the years you've been gone.
Think about it.
I'm sorry, I'm leaving, I'm leaving you.
But I was very happy before I died, because I had you by my side. I can't accept your departure, so I'll never wake up again.
Please forgive me!
Will you hug me the night I leave? Is my body hot or cold, will you hold me tight?
Thank you, my dear, for coming. Because of you, my life is gorgeous.
I have a small request, can you help me take care of our children?
He is a very sweet boy, and I hope he will be loved and cared for in the world. You've got to help me, okay?
I want to close my eyes and sleep, this time dreaming, I don't think you will leave again.
That's good.
My dear, I remember that you once told me that you want to watch the sunset and the sunlight together, you want to see the flowers bloom all over the mountains, and you want to see the spring and autumn come unintentionally.
Take me to the highest mountain and enjoy the most beautiful scenery. Eat all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and wander the capes of the world.
Remember how often I complimented you on your good voice? You have to sing to me often, the most touching love song in the world.
It's nice to have all these dreams.
Good night, husband.
