Boundary Line: A Quiet Summer Afternoon

Curtains swaying in the gentle heat, Summer breeze on a quiet street. Lying on the floor in the afternoon light, Watching condensation on my glass so bright. ...Hey, I know you're standing over there~ A soft little shadow in the corner's glare. I can't see your face, but I know it's true, You're the ghost from the bathtub back then, aren't you~? Hehe... working hard in the heat, aren't you~? I don't really say this out loud to anyone... But sometimes I wonder what I've done. Working my temp job day by day, Is this really the right and proper way~? I just wanna be a woman with her own cool style, Living her best life with a confident smile. So why do things always go slightly wrong~? Why is it so hard to just belong~? Hey, Mr. Ghost... when you were alive, Did you struggle just to survive~? Did you worry 'bout love and where to go~? Tell me the secrets I don't know~ In this quiet room on a summer day, Floating questions that won't go away. I don't need to be normal, but still I sigh, Hoping for someone to love me by and by~ Soft words falling like a gentle rain, Washed away by the wind chime's strain~ ...Huh...? Oh dear... Why am I feeling so warm right here~? I just drank cold tea a moment ago, So why does my chest start to burn and glow~? Did I eat too many sweets today~? Or is the summer heat getting in the way~? I feel this strange itch, so soft and sweet... Like I wanna be held in this secret heat~ It's so weird... making my heart skip a beat~ "……Oh my, Mr. Ghost, look at you! Are you sending cold shivers to cool me through~? Hehe... that's so sweet, thank you so much~ Trying to chill me with your ghostly touch~ But you see, my dear ghostly friend, My temperature just won't descend~ Why is that~? Isn't it strange~?" Tracing the air with a glowing hand, Living a life I don't fully understand. But maybe that's okay, maybe that's fine, Being just me in this space of mine~ Thank you for listening, Mr. Ghost, You're the quiet guest I like the most~ The fan blows softly through my hair, Drifting off without a care... "……Hey, Mr. Ghost…… Don't disappear just yet…… Stay by my side…… for a little while……" Closing her eyes in the afternoon glow, The quiet shadow stays close and low..
