Bonsai of Thoughts: One Hundred Ninety-Five

1. Come, let's go together to the edge of the world,
where there's nowhere else to go,
where I won't have to say goodbye to you.

2. What someone sees, what someone reads—
from this you can know
who they truly are.

3. They have so much time on their hands.
They watch the news on TV,
they read newspapers.

4. Come, instead of saying 'goodbye,'
let's say, 'we'll meet again.'

5. : You're a psycho. It's impossible to stay with you.
: Please, don't say that. Let's both become psychos instead.

6. Must we really go?
Can't we just stay?
Do we truly know what lies ahead?

7. Just as I am—
can't I be loved
by accepting me exactly this way?

8. In this world
many people live
without ever falling in love.

9. If only I could wake up and find you beside me!

10. I often feel like I'm acting—
performing exactly
as whoever wants me to.

11. You want everything.
And thinking this, you fall asleep.
When you wake up, you start again,
listing all the things you want.

12. : Why do you feel like smoking so much?
: Why do you feel like living so much?

13. : This outfit doesn't suit you.
: It doesn't matter. I don't want to catch anyone's eye.

14. Every person has a boundary line
beyond which they can no longer hold themselves together—
they simply give up.

15. Sometimes you look so beautiful
that I'm terrified...
what if I lose you!

16. I'll give you whatever you want,
but on one condition:
first teach me
how to get what you want.

17. I want to stay with you for a lifetime.
A lifetime means a lifetime—
not a second less.

18. Just think:
when no one speaks to the person in darkness,
how must they feel?

19. : So should I leave then?
: You understand what's happening—why ask again?

20. What you're doing—that's called lifespan.
How you're doing it—that's called living.

  1. লেখাটা অসাধারণ ছিল। পড়ে মনটা ভালো হয়ে গেল।

    আমার প্রায়‌ই মনে হয়, আমি অভিনয় করছি।
    আমি অভিনয় করছি ঠিক সেভাবেই,
    যে যেভাবে চাইছে।
