On their first Sunday lunch Midori asked Toru if he thought that he wasn’t loved enough. And when Toru didn’t reply, she said, “somewhere between ‘not enough’ and ‘not at all’. I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it – to be fed so much love I couldn’t take any more. Just once.” Then she goes on describing her search for someone who would love her unconditionally for 365 days a year. Toru didn’t say much except a few phrases. Midori goes on talking about her crazy ideas of love and being loved. I wondered why didn’t Toru said more.

Toru, who lost his only friend and was on the verge of losing the girl he loved, was maybe thinking that he has; he has been loved enough. But maybe he was afraid that he is about to lose it all.

And here I am, on my way from work, wondering what is worse - not being loved enough or losing the love that was more than enough.
