This I Wonder Essay
7,155 Mile Love
In dark cold winter day, I arrived in Toronto with my Japanese friends, Taku, Hiro and Shin. We took a taxi to go to a hotel to take a shower to get warm. We were so tired that we decided to sleep. In the morning, I woke up very early. I took a thick jacket and go out from the hotel to smoke a cigarette and get a cup of coffee. Our main reason for coming Toronto was to see our friend, Tetsu. We planned to see him at night. However, we were stupid because we did not decide the place we would meet him. We went to Starbucks to get Wi-Fi and text him, but he did not reply since he was in school. We spent about 3 or 4 hours to contact him. Finally, we could decide the place to meet. At night, we could meet him easily and go to dinner. We were completely drunk and went to Karaoke. On the way to Karaoke, Tetsu was calling to his friends. Actually, all of us were men, so we wanted some women. While we were singing in Karaoke, only one woman named Sayuri, my Tetsu’s friend, showed up. I was disappointed because I thought more women would come. However, my friends were kind of excited because she was beautiful and had a good character. Everyone except me fell in love with her at the first sight. I do not know but I do not fell in love with somebody at first sight. Anyway, everyone except me tried to talk with her. It was really funny moment from an objective view point. After singing in Karaoke, Hiro and Taku pursued her to come to our hotel, and she came. When we arrived the hotel, I was so sleepy, so I go to bed directly even though my friends were about to start card game. Next day, I woke up early again. I was surprised because Sayuri was sleeping right beside me. Since she was using my arm as a pillow, I woke her up and went out. I had a cigarette and got a cup of coffee as well as last morning. Sayuri and we hang out every day and night while we were in Toronto. Hiro fell in love with her completely, so I was trying to support him. However, one surprise happened at the final night of the trip. We were drinking in the hotel room of course with Sayuri. I was drunk a little bit, so I go outside to get some cold air. While I was smoking outside alone, Sayuri showed up. I thought my friends did something terrible to her, so I asked her if they did something bad. She said they were completely drunk, so all of them were sleeping. I asked her why she did not sleep as well. She said she wanted to talk with me. And she said, “You are the best.” I could say nothing because I was confused. I was not talking with her a lot during the trip, so I could not understand why. In the morning, we have to go back to Philadelphia, so the she and I said just good bye to each other. Then we came back. Although I though her and my relationship were just friend, our long love story were just begun at the night she said I was the best.
Since Hiro fell in love with Sayuri, she came to Philadelphia many times. Actually, Hiro gave up becoming a couple with her already because he was about to transfer to university in Italy. Thus, she and I hanged out a lot, and I found that I was falling love with her. It was not easy to be a couple because she really hated long-distance love. However, I tried to be a couple with her a lot of times. In summer, 2013, I had to go back to Japan for 2 months. During that time, we talked on the phones almost every day to show how much I love her. Eventually, when I came back to the United States, we became a couple, and long-distance love began. Actually, I do not like it as well, so there were many problems. To overcome the problems, we decided to call or do Skype as much as we can. In addition, we tried to meet as much as we can like once or twice a month. Although there were some problems, our love did not change.
From the winter vacation, 2013, Sayuri came to my apartment and stay for about 2 months. We hanged out and enjoyed being together for a while as much as we can. However, we knew that we had to start long-distance love again because she had to go back to Japan for her college. We were really sad, and she cried a lot. We talk a lot about how we were going to do. Should we break up? Can we do the long-distance love again? Since we would not be able to meet for about half a year after she went back, it was a really hard decision. Finally, we came up with doing long-distance love because we really did not want to break up. Now I wonder if we came up with another decision; breaking up at that time. I must have been being terrible about anything about my life. She often said she might have been being terrible as well if we broke up. Therefore, we think our decision was right. Even though we are 7,155 mile away now, we believe we can be together forever. I cannot wait meeting her again!
