Part 21 Act 1

"... ...This one's alright." "Alright?" "Well, yeah. About as good as yesterday's, anyway. I see what you're going for, but it's just not really my style. I mean, that's fine. I'm mostly just glad that you're trying a little bit." "Well, of course I'm at least trying. Why are you so emotionally invested in my poems, anyway? Isn't that more of a compliment to me?" "...Eh? N-No! Gross! It's not like I care! It's just that one of us in this club has to make sure you're not slacking off." "Really? Well, what if you ended up just scaring me away?" "That's—um... ...It's not like you would actually do that." "Yeah, you're right. It's kind of fun to hang out here, even if I have to put up with you. Guh—!!" Z's elbow connects with my stomach. "Oh? Maybe I won't mind scaring you away after all." "I was......just joking...." "Oh, I know! Don't worry, I was too. Ahahaha!" "..." How the hell do you call that a joke? That seriously hurt. Well, maybe it was funny to him... ...I guess that's kind of the point. I should really just watch my mouth around Z. "Anyway..." Z holds his poem out to me like nothing ever happend.

I'll Be Your Beach

Your mind is so full of troubles and fears
That diminished your wonder over the years
But today I have a special place
A beach for us to go.

A shore reaching beyond your sight
A sea that sparkles with brilliant light
The walls in your mind will melt away
Before the sunny glow.

I'll be the beach that washes your worries away
I'll be the beach that you daydream about each day
I'll be the beach that makes your heart leap
In a way you thought had left you long ago.

Let's bury your heavy thoughts in a pile of sand
Bathe in sunbeams and hold my hand
Wash your insecurities in the salty sea
And let me see you shine

Let's leave your memories in a footprint trail
Set you free in my windy sail
And remember the reasons you're wonderful
Even you press your lips to mine.

I'll be the beach that washes your worries away
I'll be the beach that you daydream about each day
I'll be the beach that makes your heart leap
In a way you thought had left you long ago.

But if you let me by your side
Your own beach, your own escape
You'll learn to love yourself again.

"Yeah... I felt like I kept writing about negative things, so I wanted to write something with a nice message for once. Besides...the beach is awesome! Kinda hard to write anything negative about the beach." "So you deci to write about the beach first, and then came up with the message later?" "Yeah, well... It's only because of what happened yesterday. I mean, after Tae and I realized we kind of wrote about the same thing... He wanted to pick a topic and have us both write about it, or whatever. Ugh...you can really see him doing that, too. Making us write about a simple topic, then trying to impress me by cooking up with something all fancy. Well, it's not like I care. I just did it anyway. I mean, I guess mine ended up being kind of metaphoric too... ...But there's nothing wrong with doing that once in a while! At the very least, it was a good practice."
