There may be people like you in the world, but there is no one like you — Love that can be explained is surely not love —

Why do I love you so much?
Why is it that person?
What is the reason for being together?

When asked these questions, we begin to search for words.
Because they are kind, because our values align, because it is easy to be with them.
We line up many reasons, trying somehow to put it into a 'form that can be explained'.

However, none of them are the deciding factor.
There are other people who are just as kind, and there is more than one person whose values align with ours.
The more conditions we list, the deeper the question becomes.

'Then, why is it "that person"?'

As long as we try to answer this question with logic, there is no end.
Because there are countless people who possess similar conditions.
We can explain it, but we cannot reach a sense of conviction.
That repetition becomes an endless philosophy.

Eventually, we realize.
That while we think we are 'choosing,' perhaps we are not actually choosing at all.

The moment we fall in love with that person arrives before any reason.
Before we know it, our eyes are following them; before we know it, our hearts are moved.
There is something there that is closer to intuition than to decision-making.

In other words, the core of the emotion of love
lies not in the part that can be explained, but in the part that cannot.

That is precisely why the answer that remains at the end is very simple.

'I don't know the reason, but it is because it is that person.'

While that is incomplete as a logical argument,
it is the most accurate answer as an emotion.

Perhaps being in love is not a choice, but a fact.
It is not that we chose it, but simply that it was already so.

We search for reasons afterward, but
in truth, we are inside the answer from the very beginning.

And that answer does not exist in words, but simply exists quietly.

Mr. Children had a song like that, didn't they?
