Dear Seokjin,
I don't know why I'm still writing to you.
It seems pointless now.
I spend my days standing
with a paintbrush wedged between my fingers.

I would say I'm no good
but that would just be a lie.

But for some reason,
I can't paint today.

My head is empty.
I stare at my paints. They're so vibrant, the colours almost overload me with sensation yet none of it reaches my brain. I can't focus.

Suddenly I am transported back into that cafe, back to that rainy day with my tea-in-coffee-cup. That was the day I waited to see if you were going to show up.

You didn't. But we all know that.

I said I didn't care anymore
but for some reason today
I really need to find out.

I really need to find out
if you'll show up today.

If today is the day
I finally strike gold.

I said I was over you but
I lied.

I need to see you again. My muse.
Can you show up today, please?
