Jaehyun,

A peaceful slumber,

It's 3 am.

Suddenly, your voice woke me.

The sound was different yet familiar.

It was that sweet sound again.

A voice smooth like caramel

and hidden was a soft whisper of a young boy.

Was it a phase?

Yes, Teenage boys work like the moon.

Systematic shades of darkness until once again you'd smile.

I should have expected we'd feel such joy again.

I think I did because I never left.

I kept my promise

and it was only a hit or miss.

We were meant to fly to the clouds

that were never hard to touch.

Suddenly, it was clear as day

this was the way

we were to stay.

Please keep me by your side.

You mean more than you know,

I can't lose you.

This is not enough for me,

I need you to promise me how we will be.

If I wake up like this again,

I'll start saying those three special words every night.

This could be the last dance of the night.

This could be our last goodbye.

Even if we fall,

we are still on a high far about these clouds.

Even if we fall of such a high distance,

we'd fly back up.

And together make our cuts and bruises feel all better.

- John
