Description
While he waited for solitude, solitude was forgotten. And so, the meaning of waiting becomes a memory. Memories are a dance that fails to end and a winter that arrives before the fall. He waited for the seasons to change, for the lights to come on, for a dance on a hilltop. He remembers when the stars were shining brightly and wanted to have a dance with you. You said it was too cold. He said he was sorry. And since then, never met again. While he was waiting for the forgotten time, the loneliness has been evoked.
