s i x t e e n

the day after graduation was my birthday.

you cancelled your recording sessions for the day just so we could be together.

you told me it was a matter of priorities, and that i would always be your first priority.

joji, you were the first to ever see importance in me.

thankyou.

we spent the whole day together, you laying your head on my lap, us speaking our thoughts out.

you surprised me with a cake you baked yourself. you managed to put everything i've ever liked on that cake.

blueberries
strawberries
caramel
fresh whipped cream
dark chocolate
you. joji miller.

it seemed like we have made our very own sand castle.

this time, instead of one of us picking the shovel,
we picked it up together.

four strong walls, built by the heart beats we shared.

colourful shells around the castle built by the way we look at each other.

oh, how i wish it would last forever.

joji, if you knew, would you still prioritise me?
