The Realization

The Realization

From the first crunch of the school leaf toward me,

I reconciled with the soul I once lost.

Your eyes held my eyes; they comforted one another.

I had to search if my heart was still there

or if you have taken it already.

For days, we spoke, but the mind you own

Always fled to somewhere/someone far I couldn't reach

So I reached for your hands instead.

Every time that sugar-coated mouth said goodnight,

I would force myself to shut my eyes 

and it was you who I would see.

Since then, wooden chairs and crosswalks told us

to be together, stick together,

From that leaf crunch, I realized;

You made the world stop

So mine could revolve around you.

I could not breathe;

My lungs miss your cologne

and the sensation of breathing with you.

It is then only I realized,

I led you to someone you have always liked.
