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.
