Love ran away.
Suddenly, really suddenly.Like a cat.It was definitely the one on my lap, but in the blink of an eye, it disappeared beyond the window.All that was left were its warm body heat and the thin marks of its claws.

Lim Young-woong’s “Love Always Runs Away” sings of the cat-like footsteps of love.The more you try to hold on to it, the farther away it gets, and when you think you’ve caught it, it slips through your fingers.It’s like sand you hold on to at the beach.

There is an image that always comes to mind when I hear “I cry when I walk down this road.” Rain suddenly pours down.I hurriedly run into a convenience store to buy a plastic umbrella, but as soon as I open it outside, it flips over in the wind.It’s like love.It’s lonely, it’s absurd, and I still walk.

We ask, “Love, why did you run away?” but in fact, we know that love did not run away, but we just tried to get too close.
Come to think of it, love has never stopped.Love is like a desk clock on a standing desk.It is something that must keep moving to appear to be in the same place.

The highlight of this song is this: “It would be nice to take a break for a while.”
Whether it’s a relationship with someone or my own heart, there are times when I want to step on the brake and take a breather.But reality is usually a downhill slope with the accelerator pressed on.The brake pad called love doesn’t work.

Yet this song neither cries nor screams.It simply sits quietly in a corner of your heart, reminding you of something.
Under the lights of a convenience store, my hand that was picking ice cream stops in front of an empty freezer.A familiar melody flows from the speaker.
No one asked, but the me inside me answered.
“Yes… love is something that really hurts gently.”

Even if you let go of the love that ran away,
Please hug your own heart tightly today.
