July and Its Ties

The casual conversation continued. After one episode has been finished, whether it was me or you, we were both busy by offering the new episodes.

All the warm greetings, short birthday wishes, and tips with a piece of cake, a bowl of porridge, and mint tea. -- Someone who is far from my reach willingly to be busy, saving me little by little from the depression that has afflicted me for several years.

                I didn't expect how he and I ended up here.

My gratitude to him remains unfinished, to the cold hands I never held and never knew how warm they were. A string of hope began to hang there, small yarns that I tied day after day, in a simple frame —towards a day when I could thank him, with all my tremendous efforts, and then embrace him with the peace that I brought since before.


July and simple encounter,
Between us.


The birthday wishes that saved me.
A small thoughtfulness that guided my soul.

Plans are made,
albeit full of greyness.

Every laugh celebrated,
tears wiped away calmly.

I am not burdened by anything in love,
but rather spoiled by everything even though this relationship seems impossible because of the distance.

But please stay here, at least until one day, I can thank you and give you my first hug, to a man not blood-related to me.

At least until that day, be happy ~
