16-Dec-2023 Aline's last day in the UK

#Aline

I don't know what to do. I feel like my head is empty.
I'm heartbroken, feeling like sinking into the deep sea with no end in sight.

...But which was a few days ago, now I'm fine.

Around ten of us went to the restaurant for lunch, also Aline was included.
After lunch, we headed home each.
But Aline and I went to Brighton Beach so that we could spend our last time in the UK.

We took a couple of photos of us and sat on the beach and talked to each other.
The sun was setting down very slowly.

Walking on the PIER, I gave her a big hug and we kissed.
We sat down on a beach, and started to talk again.

"I've been always genuine every time I talked with you." I said.

I'm feeling empty. But I know that It will pass unconsciously.

"Can you be my English teacher?" She said.

"I can, I will. but you will have to pay for it"

"Ok.. how much is it?

"Just one big hug a day"

"..hmm.. That's cheap."

We exchange Christmas cards and gifts that we prepared.
I gifted her a book marker which has been made from thread.
And I also gave her a drawing that we drew on a note a few weeks ago.

Surprisingly, I found that she also gave me a book marker in the card she gifted me.
And also the some sentences that we've written on sleeve of a coffee from the cafe.

 

The sentences that I've written on my card.

if you suddenly see the sky while walking on the street at night and you see one of the countless stars,
please think that I'm also staring at it from somewhere.

This has been written and drawn by me

 

 

The sentences that she's written on her card.

I'm blessed to get to know you in this little journey as a human being, Yujin.
Thank you for each moment we shared talking about the universe.

Thank you for each moment in silence with me.
You were the most precious person I could ever meet here.

 

I've got another reason that I have to live, not to die.
That I should be an English teacher for her in the future.
At least, in 2 years.
It is just the time it takes for me to speak English fluently

But I don't know if I can or not.
Could I?
