I was in my tour bus, scrolling through my phone at 3am. I couldn't go to sleep because of how excited I was, I've always wanted to go to New York, and now that I was actually here it was a dream come true.
Suddenly, I got a notification from Twitter saying that Kenma had tagged me in a post, I quickly clicked on the banner as it brought me to the specific post. The caption had said 'To the love of my life, @(username)<3' with a video attached to it. I clicked the attachment which took me to a video on Kenma's YouTube channel.
The video loaded and I could see Kenma holding a guitar, the title of the video was ‟𝐇𝐞𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐡; an original song"
I smiled at the word "Delilah" it was a play on words of my favorite "flower", a dandelion, and when I first said it in English, Kenma had called it a "delilah". Ever since then he'd call me his little Delilah.
Not long before the video started, Kenma started strumming the guitar, a small smile playing on his lips.
"Hey there, Delilah what's it like in New York city? I'm a thousand miles away
But, girl, tonight you look so pretty. Yes, you do.""Times Square can't shine as bright as you. I swear, it's true."
"Hey there, Delilah don't you worry about the distance. I'm right there if you get lonely, give this song another listen.
Close your eyes...""Listen to my voice, it's my disguise, I'm by your side."
"Oh, it's what you do to me. Oh, it's what you do to me. Oh, it's what you do to me. Oh, it's what you do to me. What you do to me."
"Hey there, Delilah I know times are gettin' hard but just believe me, girl someday we'll pay the bills with this guitar. We'll have it good."
"We'll have the life we knew we would, my word is good."
"Hey there, Delilah I've got so much left to say. If every simple song I wrote to you would take your breath away I'd write it all."
"Even more in love with me you'd fall. We'd have it all."
"Oh, it's what you do to me. Oh, it's what you do to me. Oh, it's what you do to me. Oh, it's what you do to me."
"A thousand miles seems pretty far but they've got planes and trains and cars. I'd walk to you if I had no other way."
"Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'd just laugh along because we'd know that none of them have felt this way.""Delilah, I can promise you that by the time that we get through the world will never ever be the same, and you're to blame!"
"Hey there, Delilah you be good, and don't you miss me. Two more years and you'll be done with school and we'll be makin' history like we do."
"You know it's all because of you we can do whatever we want to."
"Hey there, Delilah, here's to you, this one's for you."
"Oh, it's what you do to me. Oh, it's what you do to me. Oh, it's what you do to me. Oh, it's what you do to me, what you do to me, oh oh, woah, woah. Oh woah, oh
oh."My smile widened and the tears that threatened to spill from my eyes started falling as the song finished and Kenma gave a loving smile towards the camera.
I wrote a long and length thank you to Kenma via Twitter and also texted him personally to tell him how much I loved him. We FaceTimed and Kenma could see me crying because of the song. We talked for a few hours before he had to get going to college.
After the call ended I got up and walked over to my closet that was built in the tour bus. It had a few of my costumes in it, and a suitcase filled with my personal belongings. The suitcase also had a tinier box in it, and in the box held a picture of me and Kenma. A small, bittersweet smile played on my lips as I saw it.
Then a brilliant idea came to my mind, I quickly put up the photo and suit case and sat on my bed, taking out my note pad, pen, and Ukelele in the process.
-
I smiled out at the crowd of people that were in front of me, i had just finished the last planned song in New York, but i had a special surprise."Now, I know that was my last planned song, but as some of you may know already, my dear boyfriend, Kenma Kozume, or as some of you might know him from his YouTube channel, Kodzuken-" I was interrupted by a loud cheer from the crowd, making the smile that was already on my face tug up.
"He made a song for me called 'Hey there Delilah' and posted it on his YouTube channel. Soooo, while making my way here I made a song that's very similar to his but is in my point of view!" At this the crowd went off again. "This is the only time I'll be playing this, and the song is called 'Hey it's Delilah'. Okay, I hope you enjoy."
One of the guys in the band handed me a Ukelele and i started strumming, letting my hands guide themselves along to the music that I learned only hours ago. (The song is referenced at the bottom)
"Hey it's Delilah, don't you worry about the city. I play your song, close my eyes, and it feels like your with me every time."
I closed my eyes, letting an unknown warmth take over me.
"Baby I miss you but it's fine, I swear I'm fine." I left a breathy laugh fall from my lips.
"I read an article about you on my computer, said that you were gaining traction and your videos have made you famous like it should."
"Doin things I always knew you could, doesn't it feel good..."
"Oh, your far away from me. But oh, I know that you're happy, that's how things should be, yeah that's how should be."
"I keep that picture of the two of us in that shoebox in my closet, look at it so much it's tattered at the ends, and I wonder when will we meet again... will you hold me then?"
"But oh, I know that you're happy, that's how things should be, yeah that's how things should be."
"I know a thousand miles is far, so thank god for those late night calls and letters that you write me every day."
"And yeah our friends make fun of us, but we can laugh along because we know our love is strong enough to stay."
"Baby I promise you, the first time that I laid my eyes on you, I knew my world would never be the same. And you're to blame."
"Hey it's Delilah, thinking about you from the city and I'm counting down the days until I've got you right here with me by my side."
"But until then I'll just close my eyes and dream about you every night. I'll love you from New York tonight."
