Prelude

I believe that I am going to tell a prelude. It is a prelude to our future stories together, and although it may sound like it, it is definitely not an epilogue to our story, as we spent the last month together in Amherst.

First of all, allow me to again say thank you. Thank you for being an awesome friend. Thank you for being an amazing lady, and an amazing companion. Thank you for being very understanding, and thank you for being very honest. I cannot even begin to describe how much I will miss you, and how different Amherst would feel without you around. I still blame you for suggesting me to study abroad, though ;)

What will I miss about you, you ask? A lot. From sharing cigar smokes and cheap wine with you, to your loving arms. I will miss making fun of you, and probably miss being bullied by you too. Thank you for always smiling when you see me too. It is impressive how you still think highly of me, and treat the (sometimes) grumpy me very well. Thank you. I will miss our dates, and our late night conversations. I will probably miss your tears too. (not really, :P).

As always, I am very proud for falling for you. Very proud for confessing to you too (although it did take me quite some amount of alcohol..) Even prouder (and very relieved) to have your love back. You are somebody that I have been looking for almost a year and a half in Amherst, and I finally found you. I am chuffed to bits to finally even out the number of relationships I had. And you know my attitude towards long distance relationships. I honestly probably should not admit this to you, but yes, you made me shift my attitude. You made me wanted to give LDR a try. You made me feel that it's worth a shot.

Even though I guess I was slightly too little, and too late, I feel that it's better late than never, and I'd choose one night rather than none forever. Thank you for everything. Being around you have been very surreal. I love how you spoiled me, how you thought about me, and how you treat me so well. I will miss your sarcasm and biting jokes. I will probably even miss how you laugh at me all the time. On the flipside, that means that I am spared from kale, 苦瓜, and brusselsprouts for a while. Thank God.. Hahahahaha

Thank you, vi.. Thank you.. I wish you all the best for the future. I wish you a good life, and a happy one at that too. I wish that the man of your dreams will come to you timely, and although I will be jealous, but I will be very happy if he makes you happy. Remember what is of the most importance, never forget to cherish the valuable people around you. Keep enjoying life's little pleasures. I pray that you fulfill your greatest ambitions, and receive support and help from kind people along the way. I look forward to explore the world with you again, and hopefully you get to visit Indonesia/Singapore sometime soon. Also, promise me that you won't force me to eat 苦瓜 when I visit you in New York next year, okay?

It has been surreal, it has been a pleasure, it has been lovely.

Thank you, but it's not the end. It's a beginning, and may it continue to be that way, always.

Love you,
