My memory was still clear. I can still remember the day when I first met the one who captured my heart. It's as if time suddenly stopped when I saw her. She looked
really enchanting as the cherry blossoms flowed around her. I just froze and stared at her for I don't know how long. I didn't care if people looked at me like some kind of
idiot or freak. All I saw was her. Then, suddenly she looked at me and gave me the warmest smile I've ever seen. My heart started to beat rapidly. My palms were
sweating. And from that moment I have know clue of what to do. That was the first time I felt that way. A feeling I couldn't explain. But later on, I realized I'm one of the
victims of love. Yeah, I'm in love. Now, I'm one of those love idiots. I loved her- the girl under the cherry blossom tree. But, life has been unfair. Kami really hates me. This
is the first time I've felt in love but what did he gave me?? Unrequited love. She loved my best friend. So for her, I was her older brother. Older brother ne?? My luck. I
thought of giving up so many times, but seeing her smile, just drew me closer and closer to her. She made me feel the pain and angst I never felt before. But she also
made me feel the happiness and joy no one could ever give me. Whenever she's beside me, I feel contentment. But seeing her loving someone else besides myself just
tears my heart apart. It's like thorns are placed in my heart. But being with her, seeing her smile, and hearing her voice makes me realize that just having her by my side
is more than enough to make me happy. This unrequited love that I feel may hurt me countless times but the feeling of being with her and falling in love with her heals
the pain that homes my heart. Someday, when our paths soon part, when fate brings us to separate roads, I will treasure deep in my heart the love I feel for her. Even
if someday, she'll forget someone named Takemoto Yuta, I will never forget her. And when I grow old and weak, I may forget the times we spent together, but I will
never forget that I loved the girl that smiled at me under the cherry blossoms tree. I will never forget that I loved someone named Hagu.
