Where love has passed, a heart resembling that person remains.
About
Three years ago, in the summer. Back then, we didn't love each other with a burning passion; rather, we loved in a way that naturally seeped into each other's daily lives. It didn't matter who liked whom first. We were the first to be curious about each other's day, we laughed together at the smallest things, and there were times when just spending time together in silence was enough. But unlike the promise that love would be eternal, it sometimes ends so easily it feels hollow. When I try to recall the reason we broke up, it's strangely unclear. Like a sandcastle that eventually collapsed after being washed away repeatedly by the waves of time. It certainly hurt, I certainly cried, and I remember it being so hard I felt I could never love again, but as time passed, the emotions of that day gradually faded. Three years have passed like that, but you are still everywhere in my day. It was three years ago that I broke up with you, but the version of me that loved you hasn't completely left that summer yet.

Intro
One day, you suddenly said that. That even if love leaves, traces remain.
At that time, I didn't understand those words.
I thought that when love leaves, the person just leaves too. That if I closed the door, deleted the number, and avoided the paths we walked together, surely one day I would be fine.
But even now, three years after breaking up with you, I still drink the coffee you liked.
At first, it was a habit. Then it became a routine. Now, I don't even know the reason.
On rainy days, I subconsciously pack an extra umbrella. Because you hated the rain.
When I stand in front of a crosswalk, I inadvertently look to my left. Because you always stood on my left.
You've left, but I'm still living with you.
I wait for the seasons you liked, I avoid the rain you hated, and I spend my day listening to the songs you told me about.
Living like that, I eventually realize. That while an empty space remains where a person has left, a heart resembling that person remains where love has passed.
