Dear former lover,
Six years after we parted we met by chance in a cafe bar. You didn’t recognize me at first. How strange you couldn’t recognize your former lover. Seated together, we talked about the first afternoon we had spent together at Kew Gardens.
You knew that I hated the cold. How strange you didn’t ask for any hot drinks for me. Our memories were quite different. Your memories were filled with warm sunshine, whereas my memories were an absurd scene. How strange the memories were. What a strange experience we had. The warmth mentioned in our talk brought back my memory of our sitting together in the lawn, we were crazy in love with each other but we didn’t trust each other.
You looked much better than before, with the air of a man who has found his place in life. It's strange; you were a dreamy, vague, and indecisive man before. Then you talked a lot about your traveling experience around the world, especially in Russia, without even noticing my feelings and paying no attention to my wretched condition. What a self-engrossed man I fell in love with. Even six years after we parted and you became rich.
Your voice was like a magic magnet. It could always draw all my attention. Your words were like sunflowers. But those flowers would fade away because you always did some untimely things. What a intricate love we had. I wanted to walk into your heart whereas you always snapped your heart door closed. I could only hovered over your heart’s doorway.
Then we talked about your childhood stories. I did remember some details about your childhood clearly whereas you couldn’t remember your dog. How strange that our memories were quite different. When we spoke of the letter I once wrote to you, you considered it funny that I brought-up my letter again, which exposed your insensitivity fully. How odd that you thought it was funny that I could read your insensitivity.
Though I was hurt greatly, it still brought me a lot comfort when you pleaded for me to stay, and I hoped that our relationship could be renewed. On the face of it, I loved you more than you'll ever know, even more than you loved me. What a strange woman I was. Your claim that we were both egoists hurt me completely. And at last, I had to bravely choose to leave you again. It's so strange that I love you deeply but have to leave you.
Good-bye, my love. You will live in my heart, wherever I go, whatever I do.
