let me love you

let me love you


Once upon a time, there was once a guy who was very
much in love with this girl. This romantic guy folded
1,000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift to his girl.
Although, at that time he was just a small executive in
his company, his future doesn't seemed too bright, they
were very happy together. Until one day, his girl told
him she was going to Paris and will never come back.
She also told him that she cannot visualize any future
for the both of them, so let's go their own ways there
and then... heartbroken, the guy agreed.

When he regained his confidence, he worked hard day and
night, slogging his body and mind just to make
something out of himself. Finally with all these hard
work and with the help of friends, this guy had set up
his own company...
"You never fail until you stop trying." he always told
himself. "I must make it in life!"

One rainy day, while this guy was driving, he saw an
elderly couple sharing an umbrella in the rain walking
to some destination. Even with the umbrella, they were
still drenched. It didn't take him long to realize
those were his ex-girlfriend's parents. With a heart in
getting back at them, he drove slowly beside the
couple, wanting them to spot him in his luxury sedan.
He wanted them to know that he wasn't the same anymore.
He had his own company, car, condo, etc. He had made it
in life!

Before the guy can realize, the couple was walking
towards a cemetery, and he got out of his car and
followed them...and he saw his ex-girlfriend, a
photograph of her smiling sweetly as ever at him from
her tombstone... and he saw his precious paper cranes
in a bottle placed beside her tomb. Her parents saw
him. He walked over and asked them why this had
happened. They explained, she did not leave for France
at all. She was stricken ill with cancer. In her heart,
she had believed that he will make it someday, but she
did not want her illness to be his obstacle ...
therefore she had chosen to leave him.

She had wanted her parents to put his paper cranes
beside her, because, if the day comes when fate brings
him to her again he can take some of those back with
him. The guy just wept ...the worst way to miss someone
is to be sitting right beside them but knowing you
can't have them and will never see them again.
