The phone rings and Haruka picks it up. She has a somewhat sleepy voice.
- Michiru...?
Pause
- There's no one else who would call at this time.
Pause
- I was sleeping.
Pause
- Now?? Sun rise(at sea)is there tomorrow and the day after, isn't
there?
Pause
- It's a bother....Wait there, I'll come soon to pick you up.
Haruka hangs the phone
- It's a cold tiny light. It's a lonely star freezing itself. Before
I met you, in the world the way I saw, I was a pirate that took anything
I liked into my own hands. I was a queen that looked down upon my surroundings
around me. Motor sports, hanglider, basket ball, fencing, no matter what
I did, there was no one that could match(beat) me. With this, I lived content
with my life. I kept telling myself that I was happy just the way I was.
However..in reality, back then, I was almost falling apart. Foolishness
was almost knocking me down. After taking off my day time mask, every night(evening)in
my bed, I screamed. No, this isn't the real me. I was a child trying to
come out from my fate. I was just a child, naked, crying under a thin blanket.
And then, when I met you, I knew right away, you're that person. That you
were the person who I was expecting and at the same time, afraid of. Elegance
thus the wild eyes you held. You taught me that my destiny should be chosen
by myself. Just like a caccoon becomes a butterfly, the weak me was killed
by you. You are strong and keep fighting. But when I think about you, somehow
a tender feeling grows in my heart.
In a whisper
- Michiru... |
