Love letters

"People in America spend countless hours working miserable jobs to buy themselves a nice car, only to talk about how they hate being in that car for 3 hours a day during traffic.


If it were up to me, I'd rather spend the time walking, holding your hand."


"I am a teacher because I simply had the chance to acquire certain knowledge before others, and had the honor of sharing it.  Therefore, being a teacher does not make me smarter or better than others.  This is why I respect my students.  After all, we are all teachers and students, aren't we?"


"I don't need the help of a language to know what a kind and gentle soul you possess."




"May be it's a good thing that I was only here for 3 weeks.  Because it was so short, I cherished every second I spent with you."




"Every time I come to church, the first thing I do is look for you.  But come this Thursday, when I leave for Korea - no matter how hard I look, I will not be able to see you.  No matter how much I want to see you, I will not be able to.  This will bring me great sorrow, and all I will be able to do is to close my eyes and bite my lower lip to ease the pain."




"The day we had dinner and rode the bike, I had so much fun.  The day you found out that I had lied, I was so scared - scared of losing our relationship.  But when I saw you that night, when I saw your face, I was overcome with such joy that I didn't know what else to do but hug you and say, 'I'm sorry.'


Only a person I love can bring out such wide array of emotions in such a short period of time."


and the untold:

"Do I have any regrets?  Yes I do.  I regret not holding your hand harder and longer that day."

"I love how we communicate through hugs.  Words are a source of misunderstandings."
