How often do you feel Nostalgia?

I am sotting in a restaurant where my life changed 4 years ago exactly.

In the end of April in 2019, in this very restaurant I would meet someone who would totally change my life.

I am a frequent visitor here, I made it to China. After 2 years of futile trying to reunite, I was waited for and loved here until I wasn’t.

But today, I am sitting at this restaurant having a lunch break from my job, there are Sakura trees outside my window, I have my place here, everyone’s happy to see me here. Everyone knows me. But they don’t know my story. They don’t know what a special story bonds me to come and dine in this restaurant every lunch time.

There are buildings in front of me, skyscrapers that weren’t here when I took 2 weeks trip to my country from which I could never manage to return. They remind me that while for me these 2 years of waiting where easier because I loved with whole heart, time indeed went on.

4 years ago in March I started Norwegian wood but didn’t keep on reading, thinking I didn’t feel sentimental enough to read it.

I took it with me today and I will read and try to finally lock my memories in the back box of my mind. To feel happy with my past and to think that it’s okay, that this place used to be my home but not anymore, instead it’s the beautiful graveyard of my past and the most beautiful love story I’ve had in my life so far.
