I find myself tugging on an akai ito and discovering, that either through my reluctance or its insistence, its measure endures endlessly. So I turn to Aoide, seeking to ease my mind.
Everyday the thought of you still grasps my heart
and will not release me.
I am constantly searching for some sort of lyrical amnesia
to ease this wanting.
But each note, whether sad or sweet,
Resonates with a hope born an eternity ago,
for you to be endlessly entangled with my soul.
And yet again, I still ... everything.
Everyday the thought of you still grasps my heart
and will not release me.
I am constantly searching for some sort of lyrical amnesia
to ease this wanting.
But each note, whether sad or sweet,
Resonates with a hope born an eternity ago,
for you to be endlessly entangled with my soul.
And yet again, I still ... everything.
I have been trying to work through losing the hope of her, but it's hard when every time I hit Spotify something acts as a trigger.
The idea of an "akai ito" appears in several cultures. This was inspired by the Japanese "red string of fate" that ties two people together.
Wish this had a better text editor!
