Personal Fable

Personal Fable
by me(whatever)
to: Kenshi Yonezu- Eine Kleine

I'd like to write a letter to you,
full of all the gratitude and thanks
for the simple reason of your existence.
Yet when I write things, or say things
they always end up sounding like lies.

Was it you or me who was lost?
at the moment of our meeting,
I can't even remember what I felt then.
This daily life is sucking up and washing away
all the treasured pain and joy from the past.

I want to tell you everything I'm thinking
I want to tell you everything I'm feeling,
for the simple reason of your existence.
Yet when I write things, or say things
they always end up sounding like lies.

The night is hiding the storm inside ourselves,
and neither of us can hear the heartbeat of the other.
No matter if the doorbell rings on the other side,
there's always artificial words and expressions
yet I still wish to be by your side.

You were always so much braver than I was,
full of a type of kindhearted innocence like the dawn.
If I hide anything from you,
it wasn't simply because I was a coward,
but because I am a cruel person.

Once I said hello after all these years,
the phone buzzed and I could hear someone besides myself
repeating those endless spirals, focus and communicate.
who are you? who am I? once we figured it out,
it has all turned into a farewell.

I want you to tell me everything you're thinking
I want you to tell me everything you're feeling,
for the simple reason of your existence.
Yet perhaps when you write things, or say things
you feel like they end up as lies.
