Inevitable Change

Months passed, and things didn't improve. Yui was distancing herself from me more and more, and our time together became rare. She was busy with her new activities and new friends, especially Jiang, who had become a significant part of her life. I felt myself slowly fading from her world, turning into just a memory.

One day, we were on a school trip to the lake. It was a chance to get away from school and daily pressures, but for me, it was an opportunity to see Yui and Jiang more clearly. I tried to enjoy the trip, but jealousy was eating me up inside.

During that trip, I noticed how Yui interacted with Jiang. She laughed freely with him, talked deeply with him, and seemed genuinely happy. These moments killed me because I knew I was no longer the person who made her smile in that way.

I decided to confront her again, but this time, I was determined to be completely honest. After a long day of activities, Yui and I were sitting by the lake, watching the sunset. I took a deep breath and said, "Yui, I need to talk to you seriously."

She looked at me with her beautiful eyes and said, "Of course, Leo. What is it?"

I said with a voice filled with sadness, "Yui, I love you. I can't deny it anymore. But I feel like I'm losing you. I feel like you're drifting away from me, and I can't bear that."

Yui sighed and said, "Leo, I care about you deeply. But things have changed. We're growing, experiencing new things. That doesn't mean I don't care about you, but I need to live my life in a new way."

Her words were painful, but they were honest. Deep down, I knew I couldn't force her to stay by my side. I had to accept that things were changing, and life was moving on.

After that night, I began to feel the need for change. I needed to focus on myself, my future, and on people who appreciated me. I started engaging in new activities and spending more time with my other friends. I tried to find happiness in small things and in moments I hadn't noticed before.

But despite everything, Yui was always on my mind. Our memories together haunted me, and my feelings for her remained as strong as ever. I needed to learn how to live without her and how to deal with the pain of separation.

One day, I decided to write her one last letter, expressing all my feelings and acknowledging that I understood and accepted the changes. I wrote, "Yui, I love you with all my heart, and I will always cherish the memories we shared. I know things have changed, and I accept that. I wish you happiness and success in your new life."

I wasn't looking for a reply, but I needed to release my feelings and express my love and respect for her. I sent the letter, feeling like I had closed a chapter of my life.

Open Ending

With time, I began to feel better. I focused on my studies and discovered new things about myself. Life was giving me new opportunities, and I was ready to seize them.

I knew that first love is unforgettable, and Yui would always be a part of my heart. But I was learning how to live without her, how to find happiness and contentment in my own life.

This was a new beginning for me, the start of a journey towards maturity and personal growth. I was learning how to love and give without expectations, and how to be a true friend. This journey was full of challenges, but I was ready to face them with strength and determination.

Inevitable Change

I began to see Jiang differently. He wasn't the enemy; he was just another person living his own experience with Yui. I started learning how to accept things as they are and how to leave the past behind while focusing on the present and the future.

I knew that life would bring me more opportunities and experiences, and that I would find love again. I just needed to be patient and trust that things would get better with time.
