Whenever I want to leave this world,
Someone always appears and says something like:
"You deserve to live."
"Don't jump."
"I'll accompany you."
They come and go, like brief dreams.
I learned to no longer believe and no longer expect.
Until that night,
A boy wearing sandals and out of breath rushed up.
His eyes were as bright as stars, and he stammered:
"You... Just be fine..."
I took his hand.
Not for acting,
It's because——
This time, I wanted to try and pretend to believe he would stay.
