I opened my mouth and the moth glowed and flew away from my lips.
"Welcome back." I say as I look up to the skies.
"It's a new day with you."
I slowly sat up from where I lay. The cold, damp rock beneath me nipped the nape of my neck.
"Something's not right." I say to you.
"And it's... hurting my heart."
Are you worried for me?
You, who have to look what I am doing all the time, like a parent. You, who knows my thoughts and emotions. Experiencing my happiness with me in this world.
After all the four times you've watched me, have you grown to love me?
I can't hear you, I can't see you.
But I can feel you.
I assumed you loved me.
But do you actually?
"Do you love me like I love you?"
I ask you.
Are you answering?
I shook my head.
No, I can't greet you like this.
It is a new day, and I must spend it with you in happiness.
"I actually didn't sleep after you left." I confessed, as I scratched my head.
"I had you on my mind and I was curious." I paused for a moment, "Where do you go after I sleep?"
I await for your answer, but I can never hear your reply.
The moments of silence was filled with the buzzing of glowing fireflies.
The tiny glowing bugs land and flicker their lights on my skin and hair.
Gently tickling my face and arms.
I imagined, instead of these tiny legs, you're the one who held me with your hands.
"Ever since I woke up to you." I say,
"I've never felt happier."
This world is an amazing escape.
Is this why you're looking at me?
Because I'm in a fantasy where you'll never be?
I'm happy to know that.
I'm happy to know that I'm your escape to your reality.
