One's Hope

The sky is faintly dyed red, dragonflies dance
I watched you frolicking like a child

Staring at what you pointed at, you said
'Don't run away'
The face you made in frustration was funny, so I laughed
Back in those days

Two years later on our anniversary, I received a gift
What you gave me made you blush a little
It was a small ring that fit inside a tiny box
Shining in silver

The day came when I started calling you 'darling'
You said I looked beautiful in my white dress
Did you forget about your embarrassment?
You softly said 'I love you' and kissed me
We were happy

Do you have any worries?
Oh, as usual
You, who are never straightforward, won't answer
But hey, now
Are you
Smiling?

Your smile from that day, reflected in the sunset
The promise we made that day has been broken
The end of the red thread that connected us is now blurry
But what remains
Is your one hope

Seasons pass, memories come rushing back
That day, the madder red sky we shared, the time we spent together
Until the day I can laugh by your side again
Promise not to cheat? Promise on this ring
I'll be fine

Because even now
I still
Love you

A dragonfly came from somewhere
You can see it from here, right?
It's still so small
