on listener

some people long for a life that is simple and planned
tied with a ribbon
some people won’t sail the sea ‘cause they’re safer on land
to follow what’s written
but i’d follow you to the great unknown
off to a world we call our own
— Tightrope, The Greatest Showman

: to start off, you are a good listener.

but i don’t want you to listen,

i want you to tell me more,

about your story,

about your history,

about your experience,

about your emotion.

but i regret,

i regret that

either i was too afraid to ask,

or i was not paying enough attention.


「you pulled me in and together we're lost in a dream

always in motion

so I risk it all just to be with you」— Tightrope, The Greatest Showman
