Features: No one has ever been able to explain exactly what falling in love feels like. For me, in that moment, it felt as if I was suspended in solitude, making myself deeper, more elusive, and more undecided than melancholy. That year was like flowers in full bloom, with orioles and swallows fluttering, and the evening rain swirling. The things experienced that year only revealed their subtlety and twists when looking back, perhaps accompanied by some relief and some regrets. The feeling of love can be faint or intense, and often, one's own story gets mixed up with others', and their carefully crafted verses become indistinguishable from popular love songs. Mature love takes on a different form, often carrying a touch of reason and helplessness alongside its deep emotional impact. But all of these are touching stories that move not only oneself but also the entire world.
