First time comment from a lurker here. Oh my Lord the story really is beautiful that I got carried away.
Please feel free to read my shitty interpretation of the story.
I glanced at my phone, no texts, no reply. I watched the passing scenery from the window of the train as I begin to reminisce about a time where I dearly looked back to. The dearly held memories of her.
I was high schooler back then, albeit a very nervous one. It was supposed to be an ordinary first day of high school but somehow it felt like destiny had something planned. I saw her when I was looking at the crowded train, I saw another high school girl with the same uniform. She drew my curiosity. It was a mere glance and who would have known she'd looked my way just when I was looking at her. We immediately got a bit self conscious and left it at that.
After reaching school, I realized most people had already formed cliques, of course I should have expected this but I felt somewhat sad but that didn't last long. Someone tapped my back to get my attention, and lo and behold, it was the girl from the train I had met earlier. I was surprised but it was welcome one to be sure.
After that we started to hang out and got along rather well, we were close and as time passed we grew even closer.
The passing of the seasons were rather beautiful and the time I spent with here, even more so. As we hopped on the train and took our seats, she fell asleep while leaning on my shoulder and no words can express how happy I am to have her.
As I watched the snow fall once again, I let myself indulge in this bliss and let myself go.
Time passed and we were now entering the phase of transitioning to adults and that meant we had to start taking our studies seriously for our career and pick a proper college. While I had planned out mine and was in ignorance of the reality, it had seemed that she had already made her own plans and to pursue them too. Crunch time began and we spent less and less of the time we shared. Our relationship had drifted a bit but I do not believe that this love of ours died a bit. Until one day she decided to end it, end what we had, I can never tell if it was the best choice to be made but we both knew that to pursue our interest meant we would have to part.
Time passed once again, and with the start of a new spring I was ready to head out towards the city but as I waited for the train, I couldn't help but look back. I felt immense sadness. She wasn't there. I had hoped that she would at least come see me off but she wasn't there but I promised to keep it touch, I will come back to her. If I had searched for her I would have noticed that I wasn't the only who was sad at this departure, she had been there, hiding. I guess we were both unable to be honest with ourselves.
I woke up from my dream of the past. I took out my phone once again, still no reply. The message I had sent recently had been me hoping that we would be able to meet up.
I let out a sigh as I thought back to past, the memory of when we'd ride on the train and were still so close together.
As I stepped on the platform, on reaching my destination I thought about how I'm finally back and maybe just maybe things would be alright. What I didn't see was that she was waiting for me. I guess this love story has a hopeful end after all.

I'm looking for a manga and I can't remember the tags and most of the plot. The MC has terrible luck with relationship waiting for 'the one' or something like a princess, turns out at last her college friend also liked her and turns out both are princesses waiting for their rescue or something.
