I had a dream, a frightening dream,
+
where I became frozen solid behind your distancing back.
+
I was searching, once again,
+
for your temperature that should have been with me.
+
When I was stark naked and all alone at night,
+
there was no place for me to escape to.
+
I was blaming myself while wandering on.
+
So please stay by my side,
+
and tell me you will never leave,
+
until I can silence the devil's voice,
+
I softly reaffirm your presence
+
as though I wouldn't want to lose you.
+
Even if my previous memories
+
were to become mistakes,
+
say, I think they'd still be beautiful.

When you saw that, you smiled,
+
saying it looked like a real specimen.

I am being swallowed by a swirl of light,
+
but it is a light almost too gentle.
+
I was getting myself ready
+
So that's why we stayed together,
+
and made bodily contact.
+
As if I'm about to melt into your fingers,
+
I try to suppress the sound of my breathing
+
left behind a permanent scar,
+
which actually looks quite lovely.
+
So please stay by my side,
+
and tell me you will never leave,
+
until I can silence the devil's voice,
+
I softly reaffirm your presence
+
as though I wouldn't want to lose you.
+
I wouldn't care if one day
+
everything becomes a mistake.
