Translated…
For a very long time, I’d kept something hidden inside of my heart.
In my second semester of my first year of technical high school, my mother asked a friend, introduced me to apprentice at an iron wielding factory. For a period of time, whenever I heard that certain someone’s voice, my heart would pitter-patter. She was, the factory owner’s only daughter out of five children, she’s very intelligent, very courteous. And because she was from a well-to-do family, I didn’t dare strike up a conversation with her, I’d felt that sense of inferiority, but, my eyes would always, give me away, as my gazes would, follow her, wherever she went.
waited too long…
One night after I got off work, I’d accidentally found, that she was hidden, by the alleyway, kissing that younger apprentice who had a little over a year’s experience in working at the factory than I. Seeing this, I couldn’t help, but sigh: had I worked up the courage, to make my moves sooner, would the situation be different?
Many years later, I’d bumped into another girl who made my heart pitter-patter, and this time, I’d not, hesitated, I’d, immediately started, pursuing after her. Three years later, we were, wed.
After the marriage, I’d often told myself, “I can’t just, use my eyes, to chase my dreams, I’d needed, to make the actual moves.” And so, I’d, carried myself using this attitude, kept, walking, toward my own future.
not my sketch…
So, that, would be a VERY important lesson that losing that chance at love had “taught” you. You’d learned, that you needed to, take advantage of today, because right now, it’s all you got, and if you don’t take a risk, how will you know if you will get whatever it is you want in life? This would be, a very important lesson, learned!
