Love in a water glass

Here we are again

at the brink of madness

and I know you

and I feel you

and this is all we have left.

A love in a water glass

slowly drowning

I said goodbye in my heart

when I was 18

And I tried to reach you again

on March 11th, 2011

when the flood took away

houses and boats and cars

but the cold water and the catastrophe

couldn’t take my love for you.

And you called me that day

laughing

in insanity

“Everyone is dead.

THEY ARE ALL DEAD!

I thought of you the other day.

Listening to our song.”

I screamed

But couldn’t escape our water glass

you were standing outside

watching me slowly drowning

I couldn’t speak,

the cold in my lungs,

the suffocating feeling of losing you

We should have died together

Where have you been all those years?

“Still in Sendai”

Is your only answer.
