"I took the train back
Back to where I came from
I took it all alone
It's been so long I know
Imagine me
There my heart asleep with no air
Begging,
'Ocean please, help me drown these memories'
All I need to hear is that
You're not mine
You're not mine
I'm moving east
There's somewhere far away from
The sight of my hands
The sight of me not moving
You can't just hop a plane
And come and visit me again
I claim it's in my head
And I regret offering
All I need to hear is that
You're not mine
You're not mine"

- "Hop A Plane" by Tegan and Sara

Haru,

Haru… have u missed me at all?

I took a train back, back to where I came from, where I belong. Where's there's you by my side. But I took it all alone, without anyone else. I never liked loneliness, the feeling of being left alone, so helpless… but I also knew that you would be there at the end of this journey, maybe welcoming me? I don't know what you are thinking anymore.

It's been so long, I know. I'm sorry for not visiting you or calling you but… But today, I'm back here, because I know after this time, I will never be able to see you again. We had a promise but do you even remember it? If you do then… don't worry I'll be waiting for you over there, okay?

It actually took me a long time to make this decision. The memories of the times with you keep resurfacing. And I was wishing "Ocean, please drown these memories", hoping that… it wouldn't be so hard. All I have left is you Haru. So, before I go… I… want you to be happy. All I need to know is that you've found someone else. I need to know that, you're not mine. You're not mine.

I don't want it to hurt for you Haru… I was still doubting before but when I heard the news of your marraige, all the worries of mine flew away. I knew… I knew you'd forget me. So I've decided.

May you never see the sight of my hands trembling when writing this, or the sight of me not moving. I wish the best for you and I just wanted to say… I still love you and if I had the choice, I would never let you go.

And… well, I saw your wedding, you were really happy weren't you? You're wife is kind of pretty too… I thought of going back after I saw you because I made the decision to leave everyone but I didn't want u to know… but then I realize if I go, you cant just hop a train and visit me again.

I wonder how long it would take for you to realize it if you don't get this letter. I claim it's in my head but, I couldn't control myself in writing this and posting it to you. I want you to remember me, I want my existence to be scarred in your heart. I don't want you to forget me ever again.

I regret offering. Offering the time for you to get away from me, the time to let you forget me and not, admit my feelings but all I need to hear now is that.

You're not mine, you're not mine.

Love,
Rin Matsuoka.

P.S. I'll love you forever

the rhythmic shaking of the cabin
as the train rides over the tracks
the distance traveled, just a marker
of the lengths of how far i am
how far i ran, away from you

no written farewells left behind
no goodbyes to delay my trip
no you to change my mind

what people call a vacation
you’d call running away
maybe that’s what i’m doing
maybe that’s where we were headed

but in this town, with no meaning to its name
i can start over, begin a new life
until i find another you
who will make me pack up
and catch the next train
