(The sun is somewhat dimmed, as though I'm looking through a film.)
Losing myself in the crinkles of your eyes As you smile carelessly into the camera I remember The way you scrunch your nose a little The way your lips remind me of cherry blossoms
(It's a little cold here. The temperature is falling.)
Even as I lay in bed shivering and battling my fever I remember the nights you wished you were here The nights you work as a bartender, carelessly picking up girls over the counter Do you serve them all poisoned holy grails?
(A hollow whirring. That's the sound I hear when my ears are blocked.)
Your favorite song plays in the background I remember When you said my voice was soothing When you said I meant something Ed Sheeran probably didn't mean it But now I cringe with every note of his
(The brightness before me is blurring. Are those my tears or is it just the water?)
It was beautiful, really But pink sakura petals do not bloom in this region Even the colour pink is distressing to me Since we matched in winter through spring
(You nicked my heartstrings. How do I mend it?)*
I find you in all the little things Cigarettes, temples, business trips, huskies, Harry Potter, Radler, Netherlands, salmon, Macaroons, banana man, an 18 grand television
Round and round, the second hand runs on the face The sun goes down and down, signing off the days Round and round, you're running in my head I go down and down till I reach the seabed
