◆ "It doesn't taste the same as you"

"I have a favorite person. Please put the key in the post. Thank you so far."
When such an email was sent, the relationship with the person I liked was over.
I was surprised, but I think we had a sign because we hadn't seen each other for weeks. For me, after thinking about the two of us in the future, I was desperate to reach a point where I could see the future prospects economically as soon as possible. At the same time, these days will probably continue forever for that person, but isn't that kind of life dissatisfied? If it's hard, I think I wanted you to shake yourself. After parting, a painful night continued for a while. I usually wonder if I can't drink the coffee that person puts in. I try to add coffee myself, but it doesn't taste the same. That coffee can never be drunk. I think there was happiness in that cup of coffee.
