August is going to end soon.
The summer still lingers.
For Ray and Emma, tonight was like any other ordinary evening they spent together.
The couple walked along the shore in quietude as they savored their time away from the city.

There are the things that Emma likes about Ray.
Then there's the peculiarities he has.
Even though his face is often expressionless, her heart still throbs when she sees the corners of his mouth rise.

He caught her staring, to which she looks away on instinct.
Her stomach fluttered even more just with that.
Just with the two of them.
Even at the close distance, it's still awkward.
But then it wasn't.
The wavering feeling is there, it's swaying.

Fingers barely swinging, touching, brimming over the other's as they overlap.

This August night is soliciting their thoughts.
Say "I love you" to one another.

On the way back home, she didn't finish the ice cream they bought.
There is still next time, she thinks.
She was somehow making things up, intoxicated with feelings as her mind drifts.
Frozen as she let her memories melt, Emma sought excuses to stay like this.

There's the things Ray likes about Emma.
Like when she's smiling like a kid.
A lovely melody gently wraps its tune around them.
Like proceeding in a maze, the night is probing around.
Even the sense of summer, and the sense of his love.
It's still there.

He knew she was staring; that made him smile a bit.
His stomach even more with the two of them.
There was a bit, and there wasn't, but awkwardness was on the table.
This wavering feeling is present, and it swayed, and kept swaying.

His fingers made its way to hers.
A perfect fit when hands intertwined and overlapped.

This August night is soliciting,
And they said it; 'I love you.'

Entangled, idling, taking a detour.
The words took time to come out
Still this is love.
Although it's a bit suppressed at first.
Ray thought he was intoxicated with feelings as his mind drifts.
He was frozen, letting memories melt.
Still, he's looking for excuses to meet her like this all this time.

On this August night, the two of them are together.

Fingers, intertwined.
Hearts, fluttering.
Love will stay.

the end.

I wrote this after listening to Hachigatsu no Yoru (August Night) on repeat and looking up the english lyrics...
I know it's probably confusing, but I guess that's how I write poetry now. (It's kinda shitty though.)

Btw please listen to Silent Siren
They're such a cute jpop-rock band <3
