Sometimes I wonder: do you ever think?
I recall the times where your smile was so wide,
Your cheeks squishy and I wanted to pinch them
Bite them,

Your voice echoed in my ears, it's the only thing I hear.

The giggles, the way your eyes were so hazy, and it feels like such a dream.

I chased you.

I was Icarus, you're the sun.

"Get me, run faster, faster—"

Your smile, it grew wider, wider, your eyes disappeared.

I put my hand against my chest, "Mandu, wait..."

But you love it, you love making me chase for you,
You're exhilarated, your blood pumping
I was simply an— idiot
For you, always you, nobody else.

I never really got to you,
Your giggles drowned me.
It was okay though.
I let you anyway.
