My Little Prince's
Life Is Like A Boat
...Haku wrote the title of the song we were going to sing. I'm a little fluttering, afraid I can't sing it well. Because I'm not a music lover who knows the latest song right now....
...Life is Like A Boat...
...Haku wrote the title of the song. How could he still remember? It was my favorite song when I was a kid. I sang it often at that time. And sometimes Haku also sang with me at that time....
...I saw Haku smiling at me. And nod slowly at me. It's like talking "Let's sing along..."...
...The mellow music is starting to sound. And I started singing with Haku....
...Nobody knows who I really am....
...I never felt this empty before....
...If I ever need someone to come along...
...Who's gonna comfort me, and keep me strong....
...We are all rowing the boat of fate....
...The waves keep on comin' and we can't escape....
...But if we ever get lost on our way,...
...The waves would guide you throw another day...
...No one knows who I really am....
...I've never felt this good before....
...And if I want someone to follow me....
...Someone who strengthens me and keeps me strong....
...But if I want someone to follow me,...
...I know you will follow and keep me strong....
...The human heart is easy to change, I want to escape....
...The moon will start a new cycle and will shine on this boat....
...We're all paddling destiny's boat....
...The waves keep coming and we can't escape....
...But if we lose our way, then,...
...The waves will lead us through a new day....
...I was breathing in the distance like I was being transparent....
...It felt dark but was actually just blindfolded....
...I prayed and waited for a new day....
...Towards the end of the sea that shines with its light...
...And every time I look at your face....
...The sea was choppy until it reached my heart....
...You made me want to paddle that paddle...
...And soon I can see the waterfront....
...I can see the waterfront,...
...When can I see the waterfront?...
...I want to know who I really am?...
...I've never felt like this to you....
...And if you want someone to follow you,...
...I will follow you and keep you strong....
...The journey continues even on a quiet day....
...The moon will start a new cycle and will shine on this boat....
...I prayed and waited for a new day....
...Towards the end of the sea that shines with its light....
...We're pedaling the boat of destiny...
...We continue to paddle even though the waves keep hitting us one after another...
...But it was a beautiful journey, all a wonderful journey....
..." Whoa.... Sugoi...!! You guys are so cool..!!" Ken clapped his hands after Haku and I finished our song....
..." Can make this performance at the campus event later." said Ryu....
..." Ah no.. No..!!" I am so ashamed. While Haku laughed....
...I don't know why it feels like the song is very similar to the story of my life with Haku huh.. Ahaha I'm too much.😄😄...
...It's finally time to go home. We're separated from each other....
..." Yuko, where do you live? Can I stay over today?" ask Sora suddenly....
...I was obviously shocked to hear that. How am I going to tell Sora if I'm still hitchhiking at Haku's house....
..." Sora, I haven't gotten a contract" I said. " Ehm.. I'm still hitchhiking at a friend's house. So stay next time if I get a contract.."...
..." Then I'll stay at your friend's house... Yep.. Yes, yes." said Sora pleading....
..." Taps.. But I don't feel good about my friend, Sora. Next time." I said begging....
..." Huft.. Well, then." he said a little pouty. " I still want to be with you..."...
..." I promise you. You'll be the first person I'll stay with in my contract later." I told him....
..." Okay deh. Then I go home.. Ja matte ne, Yuko, Haku..."...
...He waved to us with a sweet smile....
..."Let's go home..!" haku said kindly, then he took me....
..." Hhm.." I smiled at him....
...We both got on the subway....
...***...
...Arriving at Haku's house we immediately went to each other's rooms. And I'll take a shower soon. Today Haku's father and mother are going to his brother's house. So at home there's just me, Haku, and Mirae....
...I grabbed my phone and earphones and opened the list of songs in my gallery. I play a song and listen to it with my earphones. I lay my body on the bed enjoying the song. Watching my eyes....
...I was immersed in a memory of my past. Time 14 years ago....
..." What song are you listening to, Yuko?" little asked Haku at the time....
..." This.." I gave one of my earphones to Haku. So that he could hear it too....
...We listened to him together at that time. Yep.. That song is the one we sang together at the karaoke place....
..." Beautiful songs..."...
..." You like it, Haku?"...
..." Everything Yuko likes, then I'll like it too.." Little Haku smiled sweetly at that moment. He stomped his feet following the music. Sometimes I sang at that time....
...Suddenly I felt something pulling one of my earphones. And I opened my eyes. I saw Haku lying next to me, listening to the song I was listening to....
..." Haku, when did you come?" why am I not aware of the coming? When did he come? Did I fall asleep earlier?...
..." Just now.."that's the truth that's still listening to that song. He stared at the ceiling and smiled faintly. " I knocked on your door many times, but you didn't answer. I thought you were okay... So I'll just go in..."...
..." I'm sorry, because of the earphones I didn't hear when you knocked on the door."...
..." Daijoubu." said. Now he closed his eyes. " I remember the first time I listened to it with you. That time... Like finding a melody of happiness in my life." Haku opened his eyes and grabbed his phone. And open the music gallery....
..." Ever since then, I've been listening to that song. And even now I still keep it...." Haku showed the song on his phone....
...I looked at the screen of his phone and I saw it. I smiled at him....
..." I like it because the chants are so soothing...."...
..." And I like it because you like it..." Haku tilted his body to face me....
..." Haku, why do you like me so much?" ask me slowly and look at it....
..." Love doesn't need a reason, Yuko. Even if asked why? One thing I know, because I feel comfortable being with you. I didn't plan to fall in love with you. It all just happened. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you" she said softly. " If you? Why do you like me so much? Even you were willing to save me back then..." Haku smiled warmly at me....
...“ I love you, without beginning and without end. I love you because you have become a much needed organ in my body. Without fear. Hopeless. Don't want rewards.” I said while staring at the ceiling....
..." Losing you is like losing an organ in my body. And it'll make this chest tight."...
..." Yuko, come here." said Haku slowly. " I want to be with you tonight..."...
...I looked at him with my chest swishing. What's he gonna do?...
..." I just want to be with you. Don't worry.." he smiled as if he could read my mind....
...Haku spread his arms and asked me to lie on it. I shifted a little and then used Haku's arm for my pillow. His arms are very warm and strong. It always makes me feel calm when I'm in his arms....
...Then she wrapped one of her hands to hold me. I just didn't dare look him in the face....
