私は愛する人へ: Chapter One

-oOo-

Dear Mitsu,

I don't even know why I am writing this, since I know that it will never reach you. Because right now, more than that big ocean that separates us, or that great dimension whose barrier we have seemed to have crossed; right now, you are continents away from me.

I wish there was something I could do. If only to see you again.

So, I'm in University now, and I've been very busy with a lot of things. Pretty much things related to my career and future profession. The people around me seem to talk about love a lot. Especially the girls that I hang around with now. I hope you still remember my best friend, Leah; I live with her in the dormitory, but when we're in campus, we have separate lives. Leah, rarely talks about love, not unless she was pertaining to you and me. Unlike the other girls in my class. If only I could tell them about you, and how much I want only you to own that love that I have in my heart—do you still remember me Mitsu?

It's me,

Ami

"Mitsu! Tadaima."

Kunimitsu shuts the journal and replaces it where he found it. "Okaeri, Ami."

I just needed a break from my lifeless life so I read back on When Words Collide my self confessed favourite fiction and ended up with this short "chapter" sort of behind the scene mini fiction of in between events that took place when Tezuka was in Germany and they had an argument prior to being separated.
