Son Ye-jin in April Snow (2005) edit

Yes, I know. We were never meant to meet. But our partners did. Some people record themselves sharing stolen kisses and long drives without caring for the ones with whom they share their beds at night. While others - us - can only share silences. We can only share smiles behind bathroom mirrors, and floating curtains, behind this separation, we can only share our pain inside a broken car, and comfort in forbidden arms. You… standing behind my hotel room door, asking yourself Will I open my heart if you knock on it? Me… glancing through my glass window thinking of you.
What did they leave behind for us? You… wiping your unconscious wife’s naked back after watching her have sex with my husband. Me… spending another sleepless night trying to hold back one more tear. But I’m glad they left us with something. Us. One step closer, one slow step closer in erasing our distance, one step towards the hospital, one step downstairs to the medical store, and one step into the nearby cafe.
I lost track - of time - of how it only rains forever - of how these premises, these 3 blocks slowly became our whole world. And how our world started feeling so small. Everyone is so silent, so dead, and yet it’s habitable, for just the two of us.
Yes. I know. We shall not meet, but you…. you, like a warm mug of my favorite coffee, brushed by my shoulder between the caramel walls of the hotel hallways. But you… you, like a comforting cup of ice cream on a frozen afternoon, bumped into me at the mint-colored intensive care rooms and medical stores.
Yes, I know, we stopped making wishes, but let me make one more, in the futile hope that the winter gods hear me. When the rain stops listening to our kisses, when these months will sink into your memory, when I won’t be around, if you think of me, I will be your snow, falling gently on your smile, even if it’s only for a reminder, even if it’s only as long as a car ride, even if it’s late into a month when it never snows, then …. you will know that it’s April.
