Prologue:

I've known you for so long

And you've seen me before

I wished to tell you this

I'll love you forevermore

I wanted to see you often

I wanted to show how much I cared

To tell what's it like to be in heaven

Most especially now you're there

You live within the deepest of my soul

Dreaming you're my own

Drowning in my thoughts

Hoping you'll never leave me alone

Years of love and memories

Cherishing them is a promise

A treasure they shall be

For you and for me

"Ahhh, finished at last," said Ayako. Love… Passion… two words best describing what Ayako felt within herself. "It's been a year for me and Ryota. I never thought we'll go this far," whispered Ayako. Ryota.. I love you.. she thought while listening to their teacher.

It's late in the afternoon and Ayako was unusually bored but excited. Three minutes to go… she thought excitedly. She was about to meet Ryota, her boyfriend after classes. Ryota was going to tell her something to her. "I wonder what would it be. Ahh.. Maybe he'll give me a gift," Ayako whispered to herself. It's August the 10th… the time she said yes to Ryota, the time when everything started for the two of them.

RINGGggggggggg!!! The bell rang. Students hurriedly went out of the room wildly.

"Yes!" Ayako said. "That was long enough." She was still left mesmerized and excited about Ryota. So she hurriedly want to their meeting place as usual, their private corner…the gazebo.

Ryota was sitting and waiting alone at the gazebo. "I wonder where Ayako is," Ryota said looking annoyed and sort of nervous. Ryota breathed deeply. "I have to tell her this before it's too late," he said.

At last after like a year of waiting, Ayako arrived looking exhausted but still as lovely as ever. "Sorry I'm late," she apologized. "That's okay," Ryota said seriously. There was a moment of silence between the two.

This was not what I was thinking earlier… But then what is it that he's gonna say? I hope he speaks soon… He knows I hate silence…she thought.

"Ayako, I wanted to tell you something…" Ryota started.

Hey, there he goes. I wonder if he'll tell me he loves me  over and over again. I know that and if only I can also tell him that over and over that I love him with all my heart and all my life. If only, well at least he feels that doesn't he? she thought.

"It's been a long time now… but then I think we have to give each other some space. I'm confused with my feelings and maybe even you. Anyway, we're still young don't you think," Ryota said breathing as if exhausted.

Ayako was shocked at what she heard. Did I hear everything clear? she thought. Ayako paused for a moment. But when she came to her senses she suddenly spoke.

"How could you do this to me Ryota?" a tear falling down from her cheek. "I loved you with all my heart!" she said her voice suddenly raising and catching attention of other students.

"It's been a year for the two of us, don't you even remember? Today is the day I said yes when you asked me promising me your great love and loyalty. And what did I get? This?!! I shouldn't have believed you… It's all my fault!" she said now shouting.

Oh! my… I forgot everything about today. It's August the 10th… Baka! Ryota! She's right… All I  did was hurt her. I wasted all the days…months in which all she did was love me. I know she expected too much from me. But what can I do? I am confused with my feelings right now. I dunno.. Ryota thought.

Ayako so confused ran as fast as she can unaware others already saw her crying. She ran and ran without a destination in mind. All Ayako wanted at this point was to be all alone.
