I've wanted to do this with you forever - Shirokuma Pon

"I love you"
How wonderful it would be if I could say that
My feelings grow stronger day by day
You are on the other side of the screen
You and I are only connected by a line

Let me try to tell you how I feel
How should I tell you?
What should I say?
Under the winter sky, I am weaving words
Hoping they reach you on the other side of the screen

The words that come to mind aren't straight or fastballs
I can only think of curveballs
But I will weave all my feelings for you

I finally met you, didn't I?
The real you who jumped out from the screen
I nervously try to hold your hand
Your hand, which had grown cold, held tightly in mine
I will warm your hand with mine
My heart feels the warmth of spring

Your hand is cold from the chill
But it is so smooth
That smooth hand captures my heart and won't let go
I find myself falling even more in love with you
I don't want to let you go anymore, that's what I think

I gathered all my courage
And told you that I love you
I gently embrace you as you nod
I hold you, so soft, in a tight embrace

Feeling you in my arms, I think once again
I've wanted to do this with you forever
Perhaps you heard the voice of my heart, as you whispered too
"I've wanted you to do this with me forever"
On the night when you and I felt the same way
We both pray for time to stand still

I've decided to participate in "Shirokuma Pon", which scales up the "Haiku de Pon" that started with the last Izayoi Cup ⭐

I wrote a poem the other day, and this time I also used four tanka poems from the tanka category to write another one.

I will introduce the poems I used.
They are introduced in order of appearance 💛

⛄ Miwa-san

No matter how I look at it, I can only think of curveballs
Weaving my feelings under the winter sky

⛄ Azuki-san

If I could walk holding your cold hand tightly
My heart would feel the warmth of spring

⛄ Snow child

The surprising coldness of your hand and
the smoothness that doesn't quite match it

⛄ Delicious steamed shrimp

From a hug, I've wanted to do this for so long
Me too, I wish time would stop

As I looked through the list, these four poems connected in my mind.
A story emerged of a slightly shy "I" gathering the courage to express his feelings to his girlfriend, whom he is connected with online.
I felt the keyword for this was "joined hands."
Through their hands, his feelings of love accelerated, and he was able to properly confess his heart.
And then, "I" mustered all his courage and hugged her.
"I" thought deeply about how he had wanted to do this for so long.
She was thinking the same thing, wasn't she?
I'm so happy for you, "I."
May you be happy forever 💛

Since the last Shirokuma Pon was a bittersweet poem, I tried writing something super cliché, fresh, and heart-fluttering for this one.
Maybe I went a little too far (>_<)

Lastly, thank you so much to everyone whose poems I was allowed to use this time ⭐

Thank you for reading until the end today as well ♪
