In a quiet room before dawn, I was taught about the time passing by in "THIS MOMENT"
𓅫⸒⸒ Thank you for coming to Kotori's note ♡
Tonight, I have prepared some dark roast black coffee and
a small raisin sandwich.
The bitter taste and the sweetness slowly layer together,
which suits the quiet night very well.
Holding the warm cup in my hands,
I feel as if my feelings are gradually unraveling.
What I am listening to tonight is a song called "THIS MOMENT" by BOØWY,
and it is a song.
🌙 Memories that float up in the quiet night
Unlike when I was younger, I find the time spent listening to
CDs alone late at night to be very precious.
As I surrender myself to the sound flowing from the CD player,
the words in the lyrics, "Even though I ran looking only ahead,"
suddenly resonated deeply within my chest.
It feels like I am looking at my younger self, who used to run recklessly,
from a place a little further away,
a somewhat strange feeling.
Back then, I was just desperate, and perhaps I could only
see what was right in front of me.
Looking back now, both the passion and the hesitation of those days
remain gently in my heart as precious memories.
☕️ A place to accept the passing time
I also feel a somewhat bittersweet lingering effect from the phrase
"artificial smile" that appears in the lyrics.
When I was young, there were days when I would put on a brave smile,
and even when I was tired, I would often say "I'm fine"
and swallow my true feelings.
I can't explain it well, but I feel like I can now quietly
accept even those bitter memories.
The self that tried too hard to act grown-up,
and the self I am now, who I met precisely because I knew pain—
I realized that all of it was an important footprint.
When I take a sip of coffee in the quiet room,
the depths of my chest feel gently warmed.
🕯 Cherishing this very moment
The sound of "THIS MOMENT" keeps jumping into my ears.
And every time I hear the words "how did it change so much before I knew it," I am struck by the speed at which time has passed.
When I look closely, the soft light illuminating the room and the steam from the mug in my hand are also special things that only exist in this very moment.
It is a song that makes me feel quietly that I want to savor the time here and now with care, rather than just reminiscing about the past.
Perhaps it is because of who I am now that the quiet warmth of this song sinks into my heart even more deeply.
On what kind of quiet night do you feel like listening to this song?
In a quiet room before dawn, while gently finishing the coffee that had gone cold, I decided to spend today cherishing the time.
I had a wonderful time with a great song again today𓅫⸒⸒
