"Why is it taking so long..." I glanced at my watch, the cold seeping into my bones as I waited for you at the station. The announcement said your train was delayed due to snow.

I worried—knowing you’d be restless, complaining about the long journey. I reached out, catching snowflakes with my hand, reminded me of you, beautiful yet fragile. Ah, my love, how lucky I am to have you. Just a step away from our forever. You always wanted a wedding under the soft falling snow, and I've always wanted to be the man who fulfills all your wishes.

The train's whistle broke the stillness. I turned, my heart leaping as I saw you step onto the platform. I rushed to you, wrapping my scarf around your neck, noticing the confusion in your eyes, the flush on your cheeks from the cold.

"My love, are you cold? Would you like some hot chocolate—"

"No," you cut me off, your voice sharp. "I… I want to end this."

My breath caught, my world tilting. You must be joking. I cupped your face, searching your eyes, desperate to find some trace of familiarity.

"No, you’re just tired, love. Here, let me hold you in my arms."

"Didn't you hear me?!" you snapped. "I came here only to say I want to break up. I’m marrying someone else—someone wealthier." then you took off your engagement ring and dropped it before my eyes.

"W-what? No, wait!" I pleaded, grabbing your wrist. "But how about our plans? Our dreams? I’ve prepared everything…"

But you looked at me like a stranger—someone distant, unreachable. I felt like I had lost you.

Tears blurred my vision as I watched you take one step, two steps, away from me. You were gone. I kneeled and took your ring into my palm. Even if you never loved me, I didn't mind loving you alone, but, God… why did it have to hurt this much? We were meant to become one under this gentle snow, Yet now, you've turned my heart into these snowflakes that were falling around me—white, cold, and slowly crumbling into nothing…
