“Vanity,”

-

You looked up at the sky.

The wider your mysterious eyes became, the more I feared that it would capture you and take you away from me before I knew it.

The midnight sky is losing its light, even though there are so many stars.

-

I was stupid when I could’ve protected you the most.

All I had to do was holding your hand and show you that I’d be here.

Honestly, nothing more than that desire binds my soul to your own.

The slender hand that grasped my own truly feared and yet depended on me the most has been let down.

-

I heard you wouldn’t come out of that small, secure place for a while.

It was your hole in the wall which you had built, but I had laid the foundation.

The walls will cave in soon, if I don’t face myself and fight.

I needed more of a friend than any one of us.

-
You even bothered to show me the “you,” which no one else but I know alone.

Is your scarred heart crying now?

I need suppress the wave of pride which washes over me in victory.

But that means nothing now.

-

The significance of your dancing eyes makes me happier than anything.

I’ve burdened myself so much lately that I forgot-wanted to forget-who was the most important.

You’re the treasured value I can’t break.

Notes from Sakura: I listened to Hamasaki Ayumi’s “Jewel,” and I started feeling washed over in relief. The only two people who matter to me and me had a sort of fallout tonight and I was the cause. We all were. I’m going to pray for all of us.
