I can always see you shining so bright, you know? Although the world is silenced whenever I weep, on the other side of the earth, I can witness you’re being loved by the living beings.
⠀
Feel the joyous, o’ brightest star! Cause I have never been hoped to exist like you.
⠀
I, too, cannot manage myself to stop smiling whenever I see you on the other side. We’re a complete opposite, don’t you think? Clearly, I don’t hate you. I’m so thankful you existed in this world. I’m even more than just thankful, to the point where my tears can’t be dammed anymore. So I weep again … once again … tonight.
⠀
It is around 4 a.m. in the morning. My sunrise, you’re about to sweep me away. Shall you smile. But why do you seem to be grieving? You seemed troubled and not even happy to the slightest. From afar, I thought you’re the happiest. But now we’re getting closer, I saw your tears dissolving along with the warmth you emitted.
⠀
My sweet sunrise, tell me, have you been weeping a lot too? Are we alike? I really wish I could stay next to you. However, my time is over now … we had to change place. Thus, shall I bid my farewell….
⠀
For thee, I’d fake a smile. To stop the rain and hear you weeping. To know what pained you to death, to understand what you’ve been through.
⠀
For thee, I’d play along this drama we created together. To dance on my swollen feet until death sets us apart.
⠀
I have been watching you for some time, yet I just noticed you’ve been weeping tonight. My sweet darling, we belong to no one but this season. This, our summer, will last forever. You will be the sunrise everyone has been waiting for after a downpour throughout the midnight. Pretty, ain’t it?
⠀
I think it is pretty … so I hope you can smile as bright as how you shine. And I will keep this opera of the suffering run for as long as you wished.
