the coldest winter without you

The coldest winter without you

This story that I am going to tell you is about the love of my life. I met him in spring, the
season when cherry trees bloom.
That day while you contemplated the crimson sky, on that day, I fell in love. It was dramatic,
these are memories that I will never forget, the moments we spent together will remain
engraved in my heart forever.
That same afternoon I asked your name, you smiled but you didn't say anything. After a long
silence he answered,my name is katsumi... What is yours?,my name is Akira, which means
"bright light", he sets ,mine is something embarrassing, you see before I was born my
mother thought I was a girl and she named me katsumi which means "victorious beauty",
after I was born she decided to leave me with the same name. That day we did not stop
laughing.
The next day i went to the same park, i found katsumi painting on a beautiful white canvas,
her painting was very beautiful it was a landscape with mountains and a beautiful river, even
if it was just a painting i felt i was in that place, i stayed a good time looking at the painting,
until katsumi realized it and told me, you like my painting, suddenly my heart began to race
even though he had only smiled at me, I timidly replied, yes your painting is very pretty,He
told me, thank you, I asked him if he sold his paintings, he said no, they were just a hobby
and each one was very precious to him, I asked him if he wanted to come shopping with me,
he nodded and we went, we ate desserts, we went We went to the movies and bought a lot
of clothes. It was a lot of fun. I accompanied him home. Seeing no one, I asked him where
his parents were. He looked at me and after a few seconds he burst into tears.
He told me that he preferred not to talk about it. , I was about to leave until the words stay
please came out of his mouth, I replied that I would stay for a few more hours, suddenly he
began to talk to me about his childhood, I interrupted him and said that it was not necessary
for me to said, but he said I'll tell you, because I trust you, he said that when he was little he
lived in a town where someone died every day that was a town where pure thieves lived, his
mother had just married their boss , without her knowing it, katsumi said that she lived a
hell there, and yes her mother was the one who suffered the most, one night katsumi asked
her mother if he was a villain, he started to cry she told her mother that she didn't want to
be a villain like her stepfather, her mother replied, don't cry Due to the destiny that touched
us, one day you will be able to leave here, because we all have the right to freedom, Katsumi
said that he only hated living like this, his mother in tears told him, I know that this world
has been very cruel, but despite I want you to know that I love you, no matter what I have to
sacrifice, in spite of everything I will always protect you, Katsumi said that that day her
mother was killed .That day katsumi witnessed a rain of iron, it seems like it was taken from
television, it was such a stupid and violent war.... all because of a discussion between the
mafia bosses, katsumi said that that day he tearfully wondered why there was so much hate,
and he couldn't hide his dark feelings, he wanted to kill his stepfather for everything he had
done to them, but instead he decided to escape to a new world as his mother had told him.
After Katsumi told his story I felt very bad for him and told him that I would be there for him
when he needed me. He smiled and fell asleep, then I decided to go home.
He and I kept meeting every day in that park, until on the first day of winter, Katsumi
stopped going, I was worried but I didn't care, I thought he would be busy and that's why he
couldn't come, weeks went by and I started to worry and that was when I decided to go to
katsumi's house to see how she was. When I got to her house, they gave me some very bad
news that almost took my breath away, Katsumi was very ill in the hospital, I asked what
hospital she was in and I ran there, I wanted to see him, I wanted him to get better, because
he had given me He says that I fell in love with him.
When I got to the hospital I saw him lying on a stretcher, I asked him how he felt, and he said
it was better, I stayed with him keeping him company, I didn't want to leave him alone for a
minute, the next day I wanted to take him some stuffed animals and balloons to that he was
happy, he actually became very happy, every day I brought him something until there was a
day, in which he became very ill that day he died, but before he died he gave me a letter and
thanked me for all the moments we spent together... When he finished that sentence he
closed his eyes forever. After his funeral I decided to read the letter that he had left me the
letter said....
“Akira-san thanks for all the moments we spent together, I will always remember them,
thanks to you I was able to know what happiness is, forgive me if I behave very childish on
occasion, and thanks for the mochi dessert, sorry for not having eaten it everything,
akira-san the moments that I spent with you were magical. You know I always wanted to
protect you. It's not funny, but what did I want to protect you from? I think I wanted to
protect you from other people, I didn't want you to experience what I experienced, my
destiny was devastating me, like a flood until you came, thanks to you I was able to give
myself I realize that I could change my destiny and although if you are reading this I may not
be here anymore, you will not be alone, you are a wonderful person, my soul will always be
with you and I will love you for all eternity.... I hope we can meet in another life, If so, I
promise never to let you go, in fact you can keep my paintings, you can feel free to throw
them away if you want, I guess this is the end of the letter, bye Akira”.
Now i want to tell you something katsumi, even though you're gone, i always longed to see
you and i've tried to forget that, but everything you left here, even now and forever i'll
treasure it..... i'll love you now and forever katsumi i'll never forget you ....

THE END
