On a night when I thought, 'Love at this age?'
At night, my fingers suddenly stop as I stare at my smartphone.
I hesitate to send a message, then stop.
But deep in my heart, I am longing to see them—
Don't you have nights like that?
Once you pass your late 30s,
love becomes something like a “quiet battle.”
You want to be honest, but you don't want to get hurt. You want to be sincere, but you don't want to look uncool.
Unlike when you were young, you can't just run on
“love” alone, but feelings that cannot be explained by logic alone
well up
deep within your chest.
That, you see, is proof that the
“warmth of your soul” that had been sleeping inside you has finally begun to wake up.
Adult love is not about
“conditions” or “future plans.”
It is simply about whether you can share the feeling of
“When I am with this person, my soul melts...”
—that is all.
It is okay to be clumsy or to have aged.
In fact, that “experience” becomes the depth of your charm and gives your love
“depth.”
Even unseen beings are
quietly by your side the moment you truly care for someone.
Therefore, there is no need for
embarrassment in falling in love. You don't need to think it's too late.
Love is, no matter how old you are,
the moment your soul melts. That is what Sorane thinks.
