grump.

i got home earlier than i wanted to wake up.
the walk of shame is so much longer here.
walking. bussing. bussing. walking. walking.
a forty minute ride is nothing with an ipod.
a broken, decrepit, worthless scatter of music.
i listened to all of the sad songs today.
and watched the city of ilgok pass me by.

forty thousand people i must have passed,
in that whole forty minutes.
i saw a woman standing in the window
of the hundreds of apartments that blurred by.
but she stood out to me.
she looked sad too.

and i thought,
if my life is so strong. so important.
so meaningful. in my own mind.
just think of the millions of thoughts,
dreams, and relationships that there are.
here, in this world.
they are all so important. so meaningful.
forty million thoughts on top of forty minutes.
i got home earlier than i wanted to wake up.
but look what i would have missed.

tómame.

tómame, por favor.
porque es solamente in mis sueños que yo
finalmente recibo tu boca, tus ojos, y tu alma.
tómame, por favor.
a dentro de tu mente.
porque es solamente en mi muerte que yo
te veo por la primera vez.
después de todo.
te necesito en mi vida real,
no mas solamente en mis sueños.
por favor, tómame.
antes de morir sin ver mi amor verdad por
la primera vez.
duermo.
pero no puedo soñar sin tu alma.

translation.

take me. please.
because it's only in my dreams that i
finally receive your mouth, your eyes, and your soul.
take me. please.
inside of your mind.
because it's only in my death that i
see you for the first time.
after everything.
i need you in my real life,
no longer only in my dreams.
please. take me.
before i die without seeing my true love
for the first time.
i sleep.
but i don't want to dream without your soul.

continued.

but as she sank, her brain continued to function.
rather than believing his heart and mind,
and allow herself to fall completely.
she underestimated just how deep she would go.
she sank all the way to the bottom.
to the very bottom of the darkest deep blue ocean.
and as she opened her eyes,
all she could see was dark.
there was no light to show her the way.
there was no voice to call to her.
there was just nothing and nothing more.
she must have slipped up somewhere.
made a wrong turn or made he wrong choice,
she was still holding the anchor.
she could see her breath.
she was breathing slowly in the vastness of the
cold, dark waters.

she was breathing underwater.
but she had already drowned.
