Work Text:
I long to be by your side,
Where my melody meets yours
With you, I feel the safest
Like a butterfly, free to soar
My head rests on your shoulder,
Listening to the rhythm of your breath
I want to hold on to you,
Even when my heart aches
Why can’t I seem to let you go?
Even when my music whispers, Set him free
Perhaps then I’ll be freed from the weight
Of loving my music more than you
I love you.
Yet the song of my violin calls to me more
I’m sorry
For every time my music wounded you
But now I want to move forward
I want to see what else the world can offer
I want to soar all the way to the moon,
Until I’m finally weary of music
One day, your lips will belong to another,
While I’ll find comfort in the arms of someone who understands me
As I soar closer to the moon,
I hope you’ll always remember—
You were my first love
