Abe Asami: Mizutamari no Naka no Tsuki
04.01.18
Artist: Abe Asami Title: Mizutamari no Naka no Tsuki Words: 326 Music: Tsutsumi Kyouhei when I can't sleep at night, I slip out the window and climb onto the roof. The sky I see from the roof, the city looks somehow different than it usually does. You were there. Hidden in my heart. you followed my SOS back to me, and took me away. You said with a laugh, that you "caught hold of" the glowing moon in the puddle. to you, I swear eternal love. When was it they started calling us adults? I guess we can't be kids forever after all huh? I see, that may be a problem. I wonder if my teacher could decide my dream for me? I'm so free that now I've chosen freely to be restrained. rather than believe the fears howling in the distance, I've chosen to believe the words, you speak laughing right aside of me. when I was young I was scared of the night, I feared falling. I always, always clung to Mama's skirt and hid so I wouldn't fall into the sky, The sky I saw, that sky I saw, now it's kindest to me. 'There's no reality which feels real' what came out of my mouth was only a contradictory right answer. you, so like a phantom, are more real than anything else. You said with a laugh, that you "caught hold of" the glowing moon in the puddle. to you, I swear eternal love. a moon that will be dry by tomorrow.
