~i will bolt in like a storm~
"So leave me alone...
before
the strain
of listening to me
becomes more
than you can bear...
maybe this time,
we will be fine-
or else,
tomorrow
will be
lost..."
rabbitt,
sometimes going the wrong way is the right path.
we took the roundabout way, didn't we?
and now you are warm, and you know you have too much.
I don't mind carrying some of the burden for a while.
Don't worry about taking care of me.
I can look after you for once.
Is this that terrifying love we talked about?
I think maybe you just know me too well.
The truth is, that I don't know.
I don't know anyone's intentions.
I don't know if the game is honest.
I wonder if I've allowed a master player to distract me with simplicities.
I've found some peace,
but it's hard to steadily maintain this firm poker face.
I want to recklessly shout all of our secrets...
that would be unsafe.
I have to make allowances.
I want to believe we are more than just hearts
pulled by the tide...
endlessly dancing to the tune of the stars.
~i know your love is perfect~
but, please don't wake me...
maybe if I dream a little longer
these electric sounds will start to make sense.
There must be a message.
I think it's important.
I have missed you so much.
Everything takes on new meaning.
sounds better.
tastes better.
And yet it was fine before, wasn't it?
You know how I fear change...
but who can escape?
I never could run that fast.
these summer nights bathed in moonlight seem longer somehow...
maybe i misunderstood.
these droplets that stain our faces,
are they sweat or tears?
why do we have to choose?
perhaps we are the premonition of rain.
I promise to stand on my feet firmly.
it wouldn't do to be caught by the wind before the autumn
comes.
I long for another glimpse of silver eyes...
a dragonfly.
stealing my breath with a single smile-
gliding across the frozen water.
and yet,
we cannot stay here.
My wings are almost fully healed.
It feels natural to fly away.
To admire, to assist, from a distance.
I can't hide forever.
I can only hope to stand by, waiting it out.
This time is different.
i wanted a song bird.
"please sing, you have to sing..."
I'm sorry I thought to keep you in that cage with ribbons on the bars.
How can I cage something when I so desperately want to be free?
Even still, I realised you could've opened the door at any time.
I'm right back where I started.
I always wondered if I'd die young.
I can't stop staring at the sky.
it's the same star isn't it?
I can't let our hands interlock.
I can't let myself be touched by that careful pout.
You can't take care of me.
The other one was waiting there for me,
glowing pale, strong, still beautiful...
i wanted to call out to him-
I will always be too shy, won't i?
I'm afraid he won't remember--
those fingers which tangled effortlessly in my red-gold curls.
Graceful hand movements and colorful silk robes...
he didn't know i was a butterfly...
I thought everyone had forgotten.
But not you.
You wouldn't protect me from what i wanted.
You brought him to me,
wrapped in ivy.
I just wanted to take care of him.
But I'm not sure if I can.
you have to wake up.
your life feels so far along, but you're still dreaming.
"don't abandon me."
there are just so many birds.
maybe I can vanish in that flurry of blue and white wings.
retrace your steps.
see those places you once told me about.
I heard your lover died in your arms on a damp street
surrounded by towers and old things.
whispers.
"don't leave me."
sometimes going the right way is the wrong path.
perhaps i should disconnect.
i keep listening for morse code,
but
my head is filled with your radio silence.
love,
mienai
"In the sky
someone watches over me
You and I on this earth
with one moon circling"

"cause I am like you say,
I'm a million times a day
I will bolt in like a storm
I'm the wish that keeps you going on
I'm addicted to your edge, climbed a mountain like you said
I'm gonna get into your head
I am like you too, that's a million times true
when you throw me like a stone
you're the one that keeps me moving on"
