Azuki



crushed beneath the weight of the pestle
unable to draw breath
you forget the shape of what you were before
and slip...

soft
like the heart
worn to the thin

red
like the blood
drying on a wound

sweet
like the sorrow
that stains my soul


有時候 有時候
我會相信一切有盡頭
相聚離開 都有時候
沒有甚麼會永垂不朽

可是我 有時候
寧願選擇留戀不放手
等到風景都看透
也許你會陪我看細水長流

The cina one, well they're just lyrics from a cina song, titled (literally), "Red Bean"
