"Your wrists,
Why do you gaze at them
In such a longing way?
Do you love them more than
Me?"
Your voice is full of curiosity
As you ask me why I am sitting here,
Staring at my wrists, where
Scarlet rivers flow smoothly
Under my imperfect skin.
The scars, though faint now,
Are still there, practically taunting me:
You failed to do it. You are truly weak.
I look up at you, your brown eyes are
Full of gentle warmth and concern.
I cannot tell you why I feel this way.
I want to laugh at what you said,
Of course I could never love anything
More than you.
You bring me comfort, a warmth I can't explain.
But why do I feel this way?
My mind is blanketed in eternal grey,
Sadness is my constant companion.
I can't understand what you see in me
Or why you are still here,
But it's late at night and only your presence
Brings me comfort.
My sweet ghost,
You will always be the only one for me,
Even in my next life and the one after that.
I wish you wouldn't frown at me,
I feel guilty for thinking of how I loathe
These crimson rivers that give me life.
You beg me to tell you what's wrong,
You can sense that I'm not myself,
And I wish I could desperately explain myself,
But I cannot put my thoughts, and
Everything that I am feeling, into words.
And so I smile softly at you,
Taking your hand in mine,
But the concern never leaves your eyes.
It is at times like these when I
Curse your perceptiveness.
How could I ever tell you,
My sweet gentle ghost,
That I do not wish to live?
How could I ever explain
Something like that to you?
Please, just let me hold you
Tightly in my arms,
Please promise to stay with me,
Say you will never leave.
I don't want to be alone right now.
You are what I need right now.
Your presence puts my mind at ease,
Having you close to me
Makes me smile, it fills my soul with joy.
How can being near you make me feel so alive?
"亲爱的，
请不要伤心。
我会一直陪着你。
我爱你。"
I can't help but smile at your words.
You are far too sweet, cavity inducing,
And I tightly embrace you,
Causing a blush to settle on your face.
You are absolutely amazing,
And I am lucky to have you here with me.
在我眼里你是最美的。
我的心里只有你。
你是我的唯一。
我爱你。
