Midori and i both lay on my bed
staring up at the ceiling.
Kohaku was fast asleep on the floor mattress already
it turned out his energy didn’ last forever like we thought.
a week from now
she’d be on a plane to england
to a new life
a new start.
and i’d be stuck here
in my same old life
where the only changing tide
is the change of people who come
and go again.
i sighed and turned my head to Midori.
her eyes were closed
and i couldn’t tell if she was asleep but i watched her anyway.
i thought of how complex she was
yet she appeared so simple in front of me
as if waiting to be opened up
waiting for someone to disrupt the outer surface
and get under her skin.
i wondered if i’d done that.
wondered if i’d changed her life
as much she had changed mine.
i watched the rise and fall of her chest
feeling the rhythm sync with mine.
i gently took her hand in mine
and kissed her forehead.
“thank you for coming into my life,” i whispered
and she opened her eyes into mine as i spoke,
“thank you for
making sense
out of my mess.
and thank you
for daring to love me.”
