When I broke up for the first time, I walked to the coast, took off my watch, and threw it into the sea. I believe that time is the imprint of memory. Let’s leave such memories to the sea. If you can forget something, your life will be less burdensome. I didn't have any relationships after that. I'm not sure I'll ever love someone forever, and I don't like dealing with breakups or stuff like that.
You know, it is quite distressing to throw away a watch that has been worn for several years.
In fact, I have a dream.
If you live in a city that looks like an old machine left over from the Industrial Revolution, having dreams is a luxury. It is more luxurious than those who drive an AUDI A8 and travel abroad at least once a year.
I walked down the street of the city with head down and hands in pockets. There is the fragrance of mint in the air and beautiful music in the ears. The wind blew past me, and my glow drifted behind. When I am happy, the sky is pink; when I am depressed, the sky is grey. I raised my head and all flowers blooming in my sight, I closed my eyes and everything went no noise.
But such dreams are often washed away by a black rain.
Just like the you I want to write about, are gradually being washed away by time.67Please respect copyright.PENANAvW7lKsOEoZ
"What did you say?"
"……what?"67Please respect copyright.PENANAa62VlRd9he
"What was washed away by time?"
"Well, it's nothing. Just came out casually.” I said. "By the way, where's Camel?"67Please respect copyright.PENANAcC2VtRPB7u
"He said he was going for a walk, so he left here for three days."67Please respect copyright.PENANA1GvRvyzgac
"Oh, what happened?"
"I don't know," said the part-timer. "Maybe it's because business hasn't been going well recently."67Please respect copyright.PENANA6YKo6sCcVC
I nodded, "This is the season when everyone is falling in love.”
"Then? Does it have anything to do with poor business?"
"People who are in love don't really want to come here.”
"Why?" She asked wondered.67Please respect copyright.PENANA7Nu8rPUVGq
"What's the name of this bar?"67Please respect copyright.PENANApn64fkxScA
"The Loser," she said. After thinking about it, she mutters why choose such a weird name.67Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5dXchv7r3
"Yes. Happy people coming here will cause riots. "
She looked at the patrons in the bar and sighed. "We don't have enough manpower to start a riot."
I turned around, looked the same direction with her, and shook my head.
It had been several days since Camel disappeared. I brought CD to The Loser.
"What is this?" Asked the part-timer.67Please respect copyright.PENANAx58OyQVZap
"CD.” I said. "Camel has returned to his planet, so we can play some real music now."67Please respect copyright.PENANAPdeXA4KxwG
The part-timer picked up the CD and looked at the cover for a while.
"This is not a song that people on earth listen to," she said. "What kind of band is this?"
"Weezer. It’s time I got back to the good life, isn't it famous?"
The part-timer shook her head slowly, took out the CD player from her backpack, took out the CD inside, placed it in the player in the bar, and pressed the triangle-shaped Play button that glowed orange.
"Let me tell you what people on earth are listening to." She put her hands on the bar and looked at me sideways. I listened for a while and shook my head. That’s N’sync’s “It’s Gonna Be Me”.
"It’s not good." I squinted my eyes and looked at her. "If you listen to the music that everyone is listening to, you will only have the same thoughts as others."67Please respect copyright.PENANAq8ZqfoXZMn
"So what if I'm like everyone else?" She said. "Isn't it fine as long as I like it?"67Please respect copyright.PENANAbDv7KUJ091
I wanted to say something, but I couldn't think of what to say. "That's right." That’s all I can say.
"You and Camel are the same." She frowned and said. "You are old enough, but you are still so childish. You think you are great if you listen to unpopular old songs. Say that we are ignorantly chasing the trend, but you are the ones blindly going against the trend. You all are just some pretentious guys."
I looked at her, searching for words to explain but my mind worked slowly. When she frowned, it reminded me of something from the past. Some of the youthful wounds I suffered. I looked at her and felt a little innocent.67Please respect copyright.PENANAImZKv0UJxz
"But, Weezer is such a great band......" I said without any convincing.67Please respect copyright.PENANAmPJS6HpTDw
