Rabbit Earrings
Fragments of a favorite tree
Playing alone, I return home
Swaying in the dappled sunlight
Beyond the creaky door, a shadow floats
I click my heels as if to send out an “I’m home”
Your wrinkled smile always
Listened to me,
But I missed out on hearing about you
In a fairy tale, within a phantom dream
If you go there,
Don’t leave me behind
I don’t need deceptive words to fool children
I just want to talk endlessly
And remain forever like a child
Pushing through the bushes,
I wept in my secret hideaway
The lost earrings,
Nothing can replace them
Music box princess, hey, answer me
Where do things that vanish go?
Then an unchanging smile
Told me through that waltz,
“This is the kind of fun Shangri-La it is”
For no reason, goosebumps arise
Memories suddenly run wild
Tightly, strongly, our hands are entwined
Excitement will soon dance in the sky
Silence will accept it
But my hand won’t let go
“Hey, tell me…”
I won’t cry now
Hoping my prayers will reach you
In a fairy tale, within a phantom dream
If someday you go there
I won’t hold you back
Stay here a little longer, embrace me
Without saying goodbye
I just want to keep feeling
Everything about you until today
For example, the earrings,
Even if they’re gone, they’re not lost
White and long, listening ears
Have grown on me too
