Sometimes, there are certain things that people can't share with the rest of the world, no matter how much they want to. Sometimes, I just want to forget my career, forget the music and the fans and success and everything that comes with it, so that I can spend every day with the one I love.
Sometimes I just want to watch him be himself, as I sometimes get to.
In a city like mine, there's no point in fighting
I close my eyes, see you and me drivingI stick a headphone in my ear, turning on the playlist, closing my eyes and allowing myself to dream of something that never seems to happen anymore, something that I never get time for. Our schedules are too busy, and sometimes too separated. Our management wants to force us apart at the moment anyway, so that doesn't help. But sitting here, closed off from the rest of the world, I can let myself remember the moments where I'm able to be myself. When I'm able to just be in love without worrying about anything.
If I am a river, you are the ocean
Got the radio on, got the wheels in motionIt was a clear night, a few months ago, and he said we should just grab the keys, take a drive out into the middle of nowhere and just stargaze for a few hours until the sun came up. We didn't have anything to do until midday, so I didn't think there'd be a problem. The sun was just setting when we slipped into the car without being detected by our members, painting the sky a mix of orange and gold.
I told him I was nervous. Someone would find us. Someone would realise that we were a pair. Someone would ruin the life we'd created. He just smiled fondly at me, taking my hand and kissing my knuckles, putting the keys into the ignition and setting the engine going. There was nothing to worry about, not when we were going where nobody else went. I wasn't scared.
I just wanted to be free.
[Chorus]
We were silenced by the night
But you and I, we're gonna rise againJungkook drove for what felt like a few minutes, an old CD playing on the car's shitty speakers, his right hand on the wheel and his left gently placed on my lower thigh, a reassurance that he was always here for me. He was dressed simply, in a white shirt and faded, ripped blue jeans, a bucket hat and face mask hiding his face. But there was something about him, something about the confidence in his posture, something about the focus in his eyes that made my heart race.
We found a field just outside the city, just as the sun slipped properly under the horizon, abandoned and cordoned off with bright red tape. Jungkook sent me a mischevious smile, the expression only visible with the way his eyes crinkled at the ends, the way his whole body seemed to light up with excitement at the idea of just getting the hell out of here.
Divided from the light
I wanna love the way we used to thenWe sneaked past that tape without a second thought, phones in our pockets and blankets in our hands just in case it got cold, our bodies practically pressed each other at points as we tried to find our way around the signage and everything that was trying to stop us getting in. But we made it in, giggling as quietly as we could, trying our best not to just jump on each other right then and there, too filled with love and the adventure of it all to care about any possible consequences.
Jungkook found a place to sit, in a small ditch, his eyes shining in the dim light of the dying sun, and for a moment I felt like a treasure hunter that found something priceless. The bucket hat was gone, face mask pulled down to reveal the familiar bunny smile that always made me want to kiss him, hair tousled slightly from the trees and bushes that we'd pushed through to get here.
