Love in the Shadows
- Unseen Love, Unheard Pain -
My Dearest Friend,
In a world that only accepts so-called "normal" love, countless voices still deny the existence of anything beyond heterosexual relationships. Even stepping outside, one must be careful not to stand out too much, always tried to present yourself as just another "normal" guy. Yet, the simple act of admitting your difference to those around you has taken every bit of strength. The internal struggles, the uncertainty, the fear that once you speak your truth, the way people see you might change.
And still, you took that step forward. Do you know how incredibly brave you are!
I hope that in the future, your love will no longer have to hide in the shadows. That you will stand in the sunlight, seen and accepted with confidence, as something natural and undeniable. I hope you can walk hand in hand, unafraid, and say to the world : He is the love of my life.
To my dearest, kindest and bravest friend — Happy 10th Anniversary. May you both always be blessed with happiness and love.
親愛的朋友，
在這個只接受所謂「正常」戀愛的世界，仍然會有很多聲音不允許異性戀以外的存在，連出外也要注意不要表現得太不一樣，自己也只是「正常」男生的模樣，光是要向身邊人承認自己的「不一樣」也用盡了力氣，內心的掙扎、不安，害怕一旦說出口，周圍的人會改變對你的看法。儘管如此，你還是邁出了那一步。你知道嗎，你真的很勇敢。
願未來你們的愛情，不用再活在陰影之中，能站在陽光下，在大眾的目光中自信地被視為理所當然。願你們能夠光明正大地牽著手，對世界說：他就是我此生最愛的人。
我最親愛、善良、勇敢的朋友，十週年快樂，願你們永遠幸福安好。
