I remember the story of your terrarium, one of your personal project
It was years forgotten, hidden in your backyard along with your mother's plentiful garden
I remember the time you rediscovered it,
There was a shortage in power and you had nothing else to do
You felt ecstatic, reminiscing,
and somehow you shared it with me.
You were amazed how it survived despite complete neglect
You thought it was already dead
But recognize how it is magically thriving
We talked for hours about it
You wondered how life would be if we're put in a bottle and only those who truly love us will see us
You said so I should love you then with a joke in the end
You're convinced that you'll kill whom will try to take me away
I cringe and soften at that moment
Although we never really explicitly cross the line,
Those subtle remarks are what keeps us hanging
Little moments that made our silent treaty
But I guess you couldn't really keep the silence
It was deafening, it was war in your head
I remember how you slowly walk away from the scene
I remember the night you came back only to said your farewell
I thought it's just one of your crazy ninja moves
I demanded for a reason and you said it's for the world peace
You know how skeptical I was
My universe mind couldn't swallow your goodbye
But then I couldn't really force to orbit around you if you don't want to
So in my many ways to hold still I said 'see you again'
You agreed that it's better
For you it was the end to start anew
I saw how you travelled back to your own world
After a few months, I witness a new light that spark in your eyes
That's when I realized that I switched places to that plant inside your terrarium
I am living in the same fate
Thriving after you wash your hands clean
Maybe for now I would be waiting around in your backyard full garden
Hoping one day you'll rediscover me too.
