anemoia

saudade

it\'s early morning in Tokyo

you\'ll still be fast asleep

on your futon in the loft

of Ryota\'s new apartment

 

you\'re never coming back

no matter what you say

maybe we\'ll meet someday

you\'ll bring me to Kuwait

 

I haven\'t slept since you left

trying to live on your schedule

just in case you call

sometimes you call

 

you only ever hugged me once

it was as firm and secure

as you felt the first night we met

the first time we spoke with real voices

and not diluted conversation

 

it was the night in April

when you rejected Sayaka

and walked me home in the dark

still a little tipsy

 

all of our serious talks

happen under alcohol\'s persuasion

makes me sick to my stomach

but things are a little easier

 

everyone spoke about us

we both heard the whispers

wrong person, wrong time

but how I wish you were right

 

I speak out of loneliness

all too often

 

call me tonight?
