( this is from the anime 'Spirited Away' )
there's something about tonight that makes me want to remain silent. perhaps it's the glowing moon in front of me, i find myself wishing i could be that - soft, distant, untouchable. but then i would be lonely, and iโm not quite sure iโd like that either. my sister sits next to me, uncharacteristically silent as well. she hums, swings her legs and fidgets, but, for once, she has nothing to say - thankfully.
i can hear the powerful sea far beneath, the waves lapping over each other, the ruthless crashing mere whispers. is this how the moon sees us? so far away that whatever reaches is it incromprehensible, angry, ever-changing? what does the moon think of the sea then?
the cold wind at my back interrupts me, i know my sister feels it too when she bursts into a fit of giggles as it tickles her neck. it is a relief on this humid night, the sweat has already made my clothes damp. it will rain later, i hope.ย
send me a picture so i can write!
