I have to experience the special holidays I shared with this person.

I am gentle with myself. I just allow myself to go through the grief.

After a year, it begins to dissipate.

I am aware that I can never lose anyone because I have never owned anyone.

And in what will seem like a twinkling of an eye, I will connect with that soul again.

And all in the perfect time-space sequence.
一切事物的发生都有其完美的时空轨迹。
