[A Love Song for Two] Snail Moving

"Snail Moving"

"Hmm?" she says, turning around.
Illuminated by the sunlight, sparkling.

"I'm clumsy, so I'm sending my 'love' at 6 centimeters per minute, every single second."

Her face, which usually takes the shape of a smile, crumbles slightly as she raises her eyebrows.

"What is that, a poet?"

I feel embarrassed and look down.
The grass is starting to turn white.

"Hey!"

She jumps at me.

My limbs are pinned just like that.
It's a girl's strength! Trying to escape...

It was impossible.
Even though she is small for a volleyball player,
she is an athlete known nationwide.

I can't move at all.
I'll surrender.

"What?"

"My 'love' is at the speed of light! Since it's a restraint!"

I can't tell what kind of face she's making in the backlight.

"...What is that?"

"Did I bomb?"

Laughter wells up.
She isn't someone who waits for a snail's "love."

Surely, she has her usual smile.
You always jump past my speed.
