Been Enveloped by Tenderness

To. Whoever that is reading this

A dark dress,

my little pal,

and a clear night is all I need.

To fulfill my destiny, I shall proceed.

Farewell to all of you

I wave my hand to you on this night,

a night during my 13th year since birth,

a dark, yet hopeful night,

a night that even the moon encourages me.

My beginning may not be perfect.

I have actually met an obstacle at the very start.

However, even if my flying is unstable now

I believe I will do just fine.

I sail in the sky

I look over the town beneath my feet

Beautiful lights greet me,

But I know that those lights are not my destiny

I move my eyes towards the darkness, the unknown beyond.

What lies behind all of these trees?

I started on my journey to find out.

I seek for the most ideal village,

Where I can see the ocean.

The pearly twinkles reflected by the sun

Rocks that seem as they are lapis-lazulis

A lighthouse that will guide through the night

A village, that I shall dwell,

A village, that I shall call it as ‘mine’

I do not know what waits ahead of me.

The world may be a crueler place than I thought.

Moving farther and farther away from my mother

I feel some worries growing in my heart.

I just smile, everything will be fine.

A happy ending will be waiting for me.

Been enveloped by tenderness,

Me.
