We've been together for a long time now
I feel like I could dance among the clouds
Enjoy the feeling of being small and cute in comparison to my American boyfriend
My American boyfriend... how wonderful that is to say
I'd resigned myself to never finding anyone to love me
Let alone someone so wonderful
He makes me laugh every day
Treats me so well
I feel like the happiest girl in Japan
Wait... I'm not a girl anymore
I'm a woman
Thanks to him
But there's an elephant in the room
Something I've tried to avoid thinking about
He'll have to go back to America
And that time is coming soon
Now that I've experienced life with him, can I live without him?
Would I even be a complete person without him?
I've grown so much thanks to him
Would I shrink back to my old self if he leaves?
No, I shouldn't think like that
I should enjoy whatever time I have with him
There he is now
He looks serious
Is something wrong?
What's he going to say?
"The time we've been together has been the happiest time of my life," he says
"You make me feel alive and whole in ways I didn't think I'd ever know."
"And I know how much you love our relationship."
"So would you be happier if you came back to America with me?"
Holy...
Can he do that?
Take me with him?
Would I really be happy in a foreign land?
My spoken English still isn't the best.
Still, if it means staying with him
"I don't know..."
His face falls
"...And I never will unless I try."
His face lights up
So does mine
