If you think about it, what if one day you suddenly lose someone important to you? How would that make you feel?

Loss can be experienced in two distinct ways. One is when the person gives up on you and ends the relationship. The other is when they leave you forever because they've passed away.

I've realized that if I were to lose you forever, I would be overcome with profound sadness. However, if our separation were due to a breakup, if you left and abandoned me, my sadness wouldn't be as deep. After all, if you no longer loved me, would I still grieve for you in the same way?

But if one day you were to leave this world, I would truly be heartbroken. Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes. I understand now that I love you very much.

The most important thing we can do right now is to cherish every day we have together and be grateful for our time. Life is short, and I hope you won't spend your time running away from what we have. Instead, let's focus on the happiness we share.

What do you think?
