Fiction, love, shit. You and me. Who do you choose? EP19 M.A.Y.

# # Fiction Sector: May on the Day the Gemstone Never Turns Back

May also saw Ploy

Not in the face.

But through the screen,

Through the letters.

Through a fraction of life.

That Ploy didn't send.

But May went to see by himself

---

At first

May told himself,

Just a coincidence.

Just come through.

Just see through.

But the truth is,

May can remember all

What Ploy likes

Where do you like to go?

What kind of words do you use?

And now

Those words

I didn't send it to May.

---

# # What May felt (but never told anyone)

# # # 1.May will watch quietly

Not every day.

But on a date,

May feels alone.

May will go to see

To know that

Ploy is still

On the same earth.

It's not a follow-up.

But it is.

Confirmation

That what used to be

It used to be true

In a sense.

At least it's May's.

---

# # # 2.May will be looking for a sign

A small sign.

Such as

Ploy is still single?

Ploy, is there anyone new yet?

Ploy is happy?

And what hurts May the most

Not seeing Ploy love other people

But is

Seeing the gemstone

Don't need anyone.

And can still be happy

---

# # # 3.May will not dare to say hello

It's not because there's no chance

But because I know

That right.

It's gone.

The word "Hello"

Become a word too heavy

---

# # And there's a truth that May just understands

It's not the day that Ploy knows the truth.

That May lost

But a date.

Ploy stopped wanting answers.

From May.

That's it.

---

♪ What May will miss Ploy in the long run ♪

Not as a victim.

Not as a deceived man.

But as

Alone

I've seen May.

Even in identity.

That May built.

---

# # And a question May never answered himself

May didn't suspect that.

Do you hate Ploy?

But May suspects that

Gemstone

Have you ever loved May?

Not as "Non."

But as

May

---

# # The quietest ending

One day.

May will stop going to see

Not because all can be forgotten

But because starting to accept

That some people

Not missing.

But just...

Not in our lives anymore.

And memories.

Will become

One place

Who are still together.

Without anyone else having to lie.

---

... Read moreในเรื่องราวของนิยายรักป่วนๆ เธอกับฉัน EP19 นี้ ผมเชื่อว่าใครหลายคนคงเคยผ่านช่วงเวลาที่รู้สึกเหมือนเมย์ คือยังคงติดตามคนที่จากไป แม้จะไม่ได้เจอกันจริง ๆ แต่ยังมีความผูกพันผ่านเรื่องราวและสัญญาณเล็ก ๆ ที่ยังหลงเหลืออยู่ รู้สึกเจ็บปวดและโดดเดี่ยวซ่อนอยู่ภายในใจเหมือนกัน จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว ผมเคยอยู่ในช่วงเวลาที่ต้องเฝ้ามองใครสักคนผ่านหน้าจอ อาจเป็นโซเชียลมีเดีย หรือข้อความเก่า ๆ ที่ทำให้รู้สึกว่า แม้ทุกอย่างจะเปลี่ยนไป แต่ความทรงจำและความรู้สึกบางอย่างยังคงอยู่เหมือนเดิม ซึ่งมันไม่ใช่การตามเขา แต่เป็นการยืนยันว่าความสัมพันธ์นั้นเคยเกิดขึ้นจริง ๆ อย่างที่เมย์รู้สึก คือการเห็นว่าคนที่เรารักยังคงอยู่ในโลกใบนี้ แม้จะไม่มีโอกาสทักทายหรือพูดคุยกันอีกต่อไป สิ่งนี้เป็นความรู้สึกที่หลายคนประสบ ไม่ว่าจะเป็นความรักที่ไม่ได้คำตอบ หรือความสัมพันธ์ที่สูญสลายไปแล้ว แต่เรายังจดจำสิ่งที่เคยมีร่วมกันอย่างลึกซึ้ง การเฝ้ามองหาสัญญาณของความสุขหรือการมีใครใหม่ของคนที่เรารัก แม้จะเจ็บปวด แต่มันก็ช่วยยืนยันได้ว่าคนคนนั้นยังมีชีวิตและความรู้สึกที่ดี แม้จะไม่ต้องการเราอีกต่อไปก็ตาม นั่นคือสิ่งที่ทำให้เข้าใจว่าสิ่งที่เคยเป็นความรักหรือความผูกพันอาจลืมไม่ได้ในทันที แต่มันไม่ใช่เรื่องผิด และไม่จำเป็นต้องเร่งให้ตัวเองลืม สุดท้าย เมย์เรียนรู้ว่าการปล่อยวางและยอมรับว่าสิ่งที่เคยมีคือความทรงจำที่สวยงาม แม้ว่าจะไม่ได้อยู่ด้วยกันในชีวิตจริงอีกต่อไป เรื่องนี้เป็นบทเรียนที่มีค่ามากสำหรับหลาย ๆ คนที่ผ่านช่วงเวลาของความรักที่จบลงอย่างเงียบ ๆ และไม่มีคำโกหกใด ๆ รวมทั้งความรู้สึกที่ค้างคาใจที่ยังต้องหาเวลาทำความเข้าใจและยอมรับ ผมเองก็เห็นด้วยว่าบางครั้งการปล่อยให้ความทรงจำเป็นที่เดียวที่เราสามารถอยู่ร่วมกันกับคน ๆ นั้นได้โดยไม่ต้องเจ็บปวด หรือหลอกตัวเองว่าเขาจะกลับมา คือทางออกที่ดีที่สุดในใจคนที่แอบรักแต่ไม่ได้รับการตอบรับ
