Bonsai of Thoughts: One Hundred Twenty-Four

1.
: These days I see only darkness.
: From now on, keep your eyes open and see only me—the darkness will lift completely.

2.
: How much do you love me?
: As much as I'm capable of neglecting you.

3.
: Why do you want to die?
: If I stay alive, I'll die by your hands anyway—better to die by my own!

4.
: I really did love you, you know.
: Everyone like you spends lifetimes saying just this one thing.

5.
: You test me because you love me, is that it?
: Ha ha... at least I'm letting you sit for the exam!

6.
: Many must have taken the test of loving you, surely?
: I never had that many answer sheets to begin with!

7.
: What did I score on the test of understanding you?
: Here, I'm giving you a hundred; take your marks and leave this instant!

8.
: You're sending me away with full marks on the test of love!
: I can only give you the marks, not my heart!

9.
: How can I make you understand that I love you?
: Stop saying it, and you'll understand perfectly.

10. My pillow is stuffed with sorrow,
so I sleep on a mat instead.

11. In the game of running out, whoever doesn't run out—isn't that who we call the loser?

12. The white of lime covers the dark part of betel leaf, yet when the lime falls off the leaf...!

13. I received the answer before you even spoke.
Yet I hadn't come to hear any answer at all!

14.
: Do you want gold bangles? Or diamond ones?
: Bring me something I won't need to guard.

15.
: Sleep, the night is fleeing.
: If I sleep, you'll flee too under cover of night—so I won't sleep today!

16.
: Do I really exist in your mind?
: Until you asked the question, you were all that was there!

17.
: How much more will you write?
: Death's messenger will come and stop me.

18.
: Will you take me with you?
: I'm leaving myself behind with you!

19.
: Will you make me jewelry?
: You don't even value people... and now jewelry!

20.
: Do you love me?
: If I could love, perhaps this question wouldn't exist!
