"Maybe it's time to say goodbye."

It was another rainy day. I went to the hospital again to visit you. Let me explain everything about what's wrong with you and what happened.

You and I have been dating for 2 years. During those 2 years in our relationship, you've been in the hospital since you had a disease—hanahaki disease. You got that disease from the previous relationship you were in. And now you're doing a lot better since you have me, the one who has been taking care of you the whole time. I love you, and you love me too, but your heart still belongs to your ex-boyfriend whom you were with for 7 years. Of course, I don't mind since you and your ex-boyfriend had been together longer, but it still hurts me to see you on the hospital bed coughing out flowers. I always wonder if you wouldn't be like this if only you had dated me instead. You've gotten weaker, but that hasn't stopped me from loving you even more each day.

I knocked on the door and took a peek, smiling brightly when I saw you. I walked in holding a small box that had a bracelet in it, and I was also holding a bouquet—all for you. I walked towards you and sat down on the chair next to your bed.

"Hello dear, sorry if I was late. There was traffic and it's raining hard."

I sighed and pushed your hair back, kissing your forehead. I smiled and put down the bouquet on the table next to you. Opening the box, I smiled warmly.
