The Error Lies in Wanting



So late at night
suddenly I catch your scent...
my chest feels hollow, eyes wet.
I turned and searched for you everywhere, you know!

Maybe you don't want to stay close to me anymore...
You're somewhere nearby, aren't you?

Don't go anywhere...I'm the one leaving, going far away.
Listen, I'll kiss the center of your chest and run away completely.

I can't find you anywhere—
my heart is terribly heavy.

Even sleeping was hard last night.
Suddenly I woke and realized,
how much I had wanted you—
all of it was delusion.
