Soft Light (2025.10.02)

 

A shocking encounter

 

 

A fateful encounter

 

 

An unforgettable encounter

 

 

Perhaps, an inevitable encounter

 

 

 

 

On the day a shop clerk asked “Are you sisters?”

 

Before correcting them with “No, we are not”,

 

I wanted to ask “Which one of us looks like the older sister?”

 

 

 

Even when I can’t put things into words

 

“Um-, hey”

“Hey!”

 

is all it takes to solve it

 

 

Sometimes, you push right in for a hug

Sometimes, you just let your touch linger gently

 

Sometimes, you take me outside without saying a word without touching me at all

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some time ago

 

I told you I was afraid of when there’s silence in a conversation, so I always just fill the gap by talking myself

 

 

But now, before I’ve even realized it

the moments of silence have become comfortable too

 

 

I’m not thinking about anything but

 

 

I’m thinking about many things

 

Our thoughts might be different though

 

 

 

There have been so many times

I was saved by a warmth that was never spoken

 

but still managed to reach me.

 

 

 

 

I rewrote this piece so many times

 

 

I don’t know if ‘lonely’ is the right emotion for this but I just couldn’t bring myself to post it for a while.

 

 

 

 

But we’ve been able to see a new view, you know
