The below paragraph is from my book
Talking about days in Warsaw in 2020 summer, just after my 2-year relationship ended
Translated from Japanese
..........We both agreed to break up
She wanted to end it and I wanted to end it,
yet I still often remembered her afterward
But one day I noticed something
".......Yesterday, for the whole day, I didn't remember her at all. For 24 hours, she didn't come across my mind........"
From that day on,
I could gradually accept sadness from losing her,
and pain from losing the relationship
From that day on,
I could gradually see these sadness and sorrow
as something that should exist
I was feeling sad about losing her & that relationship
Exactly because it was something very important for me
In this sense,
try to run away from this sorrow
try not to see this sadness,
try to forget this pain,
just means
denying 2 years of my life
This 2 years was surely a part of my life,
a significant part of myself
And I don't want to forget any of it
I don't want to forget any of my life
In this way,
even if this sadness continues for the rest of my life,
it's okay
Rather, perhaps I would be very happy
This sadness,
This pain,
& This loneliness
are a reminder of her,
of the time we spent time together
