Love Yourself

i call you moonchild

does it hurt when you walk away

after a night so well-spent among the stars,

back to the bustling life that replaces the moonlight

with the headlights of a thousand cars,

without me.

its a pity you're leaving,

but don't mind if i stay a while.

i'll swap the comfort of your arms 

for a moment under the shelter of the tree,

and for every touch i'll miss from you,

i'll take some solace 

as i embrace the grass beneath me 

with delicate thoughts and peaceful needs.

its 4 o'clock and i still have nowhere to go,

just the fleeting image of your back turned inside my head,

your dampened eyes and 

my dampened cheeks.

so i'll sing a song

and drown you out,

hoping that you'll never listen.

i'll still save a seat for you in my dreams

but i hope you never come,

because i've got the moonlight 

to keep me company.

-inspired by the song 4 o'clock by RM and V of BTS
