His Letter
(Original Title: 他的信)
As I sat alone, clutching the letter, I felt a cascade of memories wash over me. The words spoke of old times and faded moments, and somehow, they made me reminisce about the beauty of my youth. It’s not that time had erased these memories, but reading his words, I realized how deeply they were etched within me. Life had moved on, and so had I, but this solitary message brought it all back, a vivid portrait of what once was.
