Does your skin burn
when you think of her?
Does your heart burn
when someone else thinks of her?
Can you let it burn, and yet
not want her singed by your flames?
How can I be sure?
Try not breathing,
then try not thinking about her
Which is harder,
and which is easier?
Look at the relentless march of time,
and then watch it freeze in her footsteps.
Will it hurt?
As surely as you will bleed,
if you cut yourself open
Pain as crystal as diamond
as ancient as arctic ice
Open yourself to this pain
and you will live beyond your age.
Will I survive?
You will wither away
like the sakura in winter.
But for those few moments of spring
you will bloom like never before.
You will give life
in the only way a man can.
