The Love

I was twelve years old when my story with Yui began, the girl who became the center of my world. We lived in Hangzhou, that ancient city renowned for its beauty and rich history. Yui had just moved to our school; she was a new, remarkable presence that couldn't be ignored. She had eyes like pearls, long silky black hair, and a voice as melodious as music.

I remember the first day I saw her as if it were yesterday. She stood in the schoolyard, smiling shyly and getting to know our classmates. I couldn't take my eyes off her. I felt something strange inside me, a feeling I had never experienced before. Perhaps it was love at first sight.

As days passed, we became friends. We spent our breaks together, laughing and sharing our dreams. Yui dreamed of becoming an architect, building the most beautiful buildings in the world. As for me, I dreamed of staying by her side, being a part of everything she did.

There was a small garden behind our school, a quiet place away from the noise of the world. We would sit there after classes, watching the sunset and talking about everything. Those moments were the most beautiful in my life. We laughed, shared secrets, and dreamed about the future.

We studied together, helped each other with homework, and challenged each other in games. Yui always won, and I loved that about her. She was smart, strong, and full of life. I felt lucky to have her in my life.

But deep in my heart, I knew I wanted more than just friendship. I dreamed of telling her how I felt, of telling her how much I loved her. But I was afraid. Afraid of losing her friendship, afraid of rejection. So, I contented myself with watching her from afar, trying to hide my feelings.

There were moments when Yui would look at me with shining eyes, and I would feel that there was something special between us. But I wasn't sure. I always feared that I might be wrong, that I might be misreading the signs.

One day, as we sat in the garden watching the sunset, she looked at me quietly and asked, "Leo, do you have dreams you want to achieve?"

I smiled and said, "Yes, I have a lot of dreams. But the biggest one is to be with the people I love and see their happiness."

She looked up at the sky and said, "That's beautiful. I think true friends are the greatest gift in life."

I felt warmth in my heart. Those words meant so much to me. I knew I would always be by Yui's side, no matter what. She was my greatest dream, and those little moments we shared together were all I needed.

I didn't know what the future held for us, but I was sure of one thing: Yui was my first love, and I would never forget those beautiful days we spent together. I was ready to do anything for her, to be there when she needed me, and to see her smile light up my world.

As days passed, I knew I needed to let her know how important she was to me. I planned to find the right moment, the moment I could confess all my feelings to her. I wanted to tell her how much I loved her, how much she meant to me.

But life had other plans for us, and I didn't know what fate had in store. I was ready to face anything, as long as I was with Yui. She was the light that illuminated my path, and the hope that gave me strength to face any challenge.
