"There are people who hate to wait not because they don't wanna miss their time. It's because they hate the feeling of being passive, the feeling of being dependent on something or someone else.
If the speed of the cherry blossoms fall wasn't 5cm/s then it probably wouldn't be that beautiful. And if the distance between me and you is 5 cm, then maybe only one step to reach you, not a lifetime.
I don't quite understand yet what it really means to grow up. But what I want is to be a person who won't disappoint you if we happen to meet somewhere, someday a long time from now. I want to promise you that."
"5 centimeters per second" - Shinkai Makoto
