You asked for my hand in marriage and promised me you’ll move to Japan with me…but how can I do that? How can I marry you and then take you away from your family. You’re a son. You are the one to care for your family. You are the one they look up to, the one they depend on. How can I, an outsider, come into your family and take you away. It just doesn’t seem right. Allowing me to do such a thing, I would rather die. I’m not able to do such a thing. You mean a lot to your family. To prove your love for me and making my dream come true is very nice of you but…you shouldn’t let a woman rip you apart from your family. A woman can become a part of your soul, a part of your family. But never let that woman take you way from what you hold dear. Your family will always be there for you but a woman can always change her mind. I say this not because I don’t love you but because I love you. I love you so much that I cannot remove you from your family bond and make you my own. So…I am sorry but I will not be able to accept your offer. I hope that we will still be friends. Upon our next meeting, please see me nothing more than a good friend. Thank you for all your love and all your caring, my good friend.
