Dear Diary,
I haven't much to report in the past few months. Izumo and I have gotten rather close; infact, I'd say we're pretty much steadily boyfriend and girlfriend now. We haven't done anything more than holding hands, hugs, and a few kisses on the cheek every now and then; though I must admit I'm glad of that. If he were to try anything more, I'm not sure how I'd react, honestly. I miss Haku, really I do, but should I wait around forever? Should I hope that he returns and just brush off Izzy? Or should I enjoy the time I have with Izzy in the hopes that it turns into something more. What if I spend all this time with Izzy and it turns out that Haku does return? Oh Kami-sama, what if there's something terribly wrong back in the spirit world and he can't get to me to keep his promise and tell me how much he misses me and--...
Ahem, let me stop and take a few deep breaths before I continue...
Alright, now then, I'd better just stop worrying. I know time passes by there the same way it does here; so surely he realizes it's been years since the last time we spoke...
A/N: reason why I know time is the same: at the end of Spirited Away, Chihiro's parents had to remove all the brush and stuff from their car because they'd been gone so long
Well, I suppose I have nothing new to update other than that I miss him: I wish he were here and that he could hold me like he did the first time we met. His strong, steady arms, his warmth, his eyes, his smile: I miss all of it.
I hope you never read this Haku, but I think love you. I just hope I can see you one day to tell you to your face.
Love,
Chihomi.
Make sure to check out the Author's Note included in the diary entry. Not much time passed by between last chapter and this one. I will be making a new update later, probably, with a bigger gap though!
