Yukata and you

I still remember the first time I wore that yukata. Yokohama yukata, as I called it. The Yukata represents one of the most beautiful dreams coming true to life. I saw the patterns in Yokohama Monogatari and been wanting to have one. And in the summer 2009, I got it.

I dressed up beautifully for the night. Wore the dream yukata, for my first ever Gion Matsuri. Kyoto's biggest and oldest festival. On the wake of that, I only remember that I dress up for you. It was our day, our date. I had been wanting to see you since your graduation. I had been missing you so much and when you said yes to come with me for Gion Matsuri, I felt so happy.

I recalled that night as a blissful night. With you by my side, nothing seems wrong. You came with me for fish catching, stroll around Gion Matsuri and ate banana chocolate with me. Only later when Ayana confronted me on my feeling for you, I realized just how many time I called your name that night. I think I did really miss you. Miss your smile and miss your eyes..

So when I wore the yukata again last night, I felt empty inside. I am lonely without you. I can't help myself from wandering to the time of us. Will the yukata bring me back to you?
