- I’m just trying to live my
life, but it seems as if sadness always piles itself up around me. It’s in my
bed, the toothbrush in my bathroom, and the memory of my cellphone. Over the
past few years, I’ve wanted to move on; I’ve wanted to take hold of something I
couldn’t reach. What that is, I have no idea. Not knowing where such obsessive
thoughts were coming from, I simply drowned myself in my work. Then one day I
realized that my heart was withering, and in it there was nothing but pain. And
that my beliefs, that I once held so passionately, had completely disappeared. –

- That moment, I felt as
though I could grasp things like eternity, the heart or the soul. It’s as if, I
thought, I was able to share with her this whole year of my life. – Touno

- I wonder when I got into the
habit of writing messages to nobody. – Touno Takaki
- The things I had to tell her
and the things I hoped she would listen to. There were so many of them. – Touno

- Every minute felt like an
eternity time, clearly as if it had malicious intent, slowly ebbing away from
me. I clenched my teeth and keeping myself from crying was the only thing I
could do. – Touno Takaki
- Suddenly, I was keenly aware
that we wouldn’t be able to remain together forever. The overwhelming power of
our lives, the boundless vastness of time was stretching hopelessly before us. –
