It All Started With A Letter…
A tattered letter started it all…
Dear Yamamoto,
I have liked you for a very long time.
Can you meet me at the small park near the school?

He carelessly walked there on his own…
*Woof woof woof!*
But he only saw an aged woman and her old dog on a bench…
"Excuse me, but have you seen a teenage girl around here?"
Her kind voice replied
"Ah young love; reminds me of the old days. No, young man, I have not."
He gave her a smile and joined her on the bench…
"My name is Yamamoto! I'm waiting for the person who left this note in my desk."
"Ah, I'm waiting for someone also. And feel free to call me [Name]."
And they talked…
"My father owns a sushi shop! You should come and visit one day!"
"Sushi huh… the person I'm waiting for wanted to build a sushi shop…"
"Really? Well, you should try our shop! It has the best sushi around since my grandfather's time!"
And talked…
"Is this your dog? What's his name?"
"Ah yes, I haven't introduced you guys; this is Bass."
"Bass? Wow, he has the same name as a fish!"
And left…
"Looks like my hour is up. Goodbye Yamamoto, it was nice meeting you."
"Goodbye Name! It was nice knowing you too!"
And met again…
"[Name]! You're waiting here again?"
"Shouldn't I ask you the same thing? You want to wait with me?"
"Sure!"
And this cycle kept going for days…
"Hi [Name]! Hey Bass! Waiting for an hour again?"
"Yamamoto, you already know the procedure."
Weeks…
"It's getting so chilly! Aren't you freezing right now [Name]?"
"…The cold's a little obstacle every year; you get use to the cold…and the wait."
A Month…
"Look [Name]! It's snowing! Do you want to build a snowman with me?"
"Oh Yamamoto, I'm too old these days. Maybe next year."
2 Months…
"Sorry I'm a bit late! My friends and I were playing this game."
"It's okay Yamamoto. I'm use to the waiting…"
3 Months…
"Hey, look [Name]! The snow's melting!"
"Heh, it's called spring Yamamoto!"
And a day.
"Hey Bass! Where's [Name]?"
He whimpers.
"Oh, a note?"
With that one day…
Dear Yamamoto,
It was nice to know that my love had started a family
And moved on because if he didn't
I would have never met you.
Maybe you should move on too.
