Nadine, my Daylight.

I had talks about lifetime with various people but there's only one name that I will remember as the one I desperately wish to have known forever with. One doesn't immediately forget how connection aren't made with time—they are made instantly, in the slightest second from the very first meeting. And I would argue that although time will eventually fade our memories, that moment alone will be the only thing I'll hold onto about you. That sparks flew from a girl that breathes in colors, back in 2022.

My Nadine, my tender hearted Nadine.

Days with you may be fleeting, too short for my own liking, and I have the world to curse on for that. But in those very moments, we existed. We existed and we loved, and we lived; and God, I would never trade any second of it for anything. For a forever with you beyond that, maybe, but that is the privilege of other Regars and Nadines, who I hope will have a much better story than we do.

(I do believe the one we're in is one of the better ones, because I still get to meet and love you; here, in this lifetime.)

My Nadine, though now I have to remember you for longer than I have known you, though now I won't be here to witness you live your life (and I know you'll do it well, just like you always do), though our paths will diverge—I want you to know that this Regar, that you once met in the Autumn of 2022, will always be grateful to have known you. And as Izumi Shikibu once said,

Even if I now saw you only once, I would long for you through worlds, worlds. Even if my Nadine only passed by once, I would carry all of our memories through different lifetimes until I can find the one where we can sit and laugh together, once more.

For longer than forever, this time.

Baik-baik, ya?

With love,

Regar.
