i'll go even farther

i made it this far— loving you;
what's that point of giving it up?

fallacies Sep 2019

i want to stay, should i?

how do you walk away from something that's been a part of you for so long?

or do you even walk away at all?

i don't know anymore

i really wish i hated you right now
so that moving on wouldn't be so hard
but the thing is i can't;
i think i never will

maybe it's one of the consequences
of loving you so much
that i couldn't even remember who i was
without you

i'm sorry,

for making you believe in forever
when i didn't even know what it meant.

i don't want to settle for less
and i know you don't want to, too
but i guess what you meant
by not settling for less
is that i was not more than
what you expected me to

The Garden of Words: a tanka

Narukami no sukoshi toyomite
     (A faint clap of thunder)
sashi kumori
     (Clouded skies)
Ame mo furanu ka?
     (Perhaps rain comes)
Kimi wo todomemu
     (If so, will you stay here with me?)

Narukami no sukoshi toyomite
     (A faint clap of thunder)
furazu to mo
     (Even if rain comes not)
warewa tomaramu
     (I will stay here)
imoshi todomeba*
     (Together with you)

here's a tanka which i got from the japanese animated movie, Kotohana no Niwa (The Garden of Words). I just love the question and response written in the text.

and made life worth living

you were the certain uncertainty my heart needed-- to know that it was living

loving you was the most certain uncertainty it did-- that made it feel alive
