[Poem] On a Night When Star Fragments Fall
Because I felt your tears reflected in the star fragments spilled across the night sky,
I found myself wanting to listen quietly.
I wanted to listen closely.
Please tell me.
What are the things
that you like?
What kind of things
move your heart?
What kind of things
do you love?
No matter how trivial it may be,
—I want to know you.
So,
please, tell me.
The number of tears
you shed quietly alone
on your sleepless nights.
"I want to save you"—
I cannot say something
so presumptuous.
Just as one would
carefully gather
each star fragment one by one,
Just as one would
cherish a treasure,
"I want to scoop you up"—
That is simply—what I think.
