TO ADAM

One of my favorite storybooks is about a little prince who came to earth from a distant planet. Met a pilot who crashed in the desert. The little prince taught the pilot a lot of truths...
a lot of truths about love...
my father used to say I was the little prince, but after I met Adam, I realized I've always been the pilot.

Asperger's syndrome.
I'm even a little envious.

I need a lot of masks to fit into society. Pretending, lying, flattering...being deceived, being misunderstood, being left out...pretending to be strong, pretending to be optimistic, pretending that life is actually beautiful...
doubting whether I have ever taken off these masks. Will you open a door and see the starry sky?
But I saw your starry sky.
Thank you, Adam.

New York. late at night. Raccoons in Central Park.
I finally understand your waiting, understand your smile.
Although you can't see me at this time, I found you, and I found myself.

You landed in a space suit.
Your smile is so innocent. How should I face you?
Your world is like the stars in the night sky.
So pure, so out of reach.
I am the star who will never catch up to you.
Although you said you will always wait for me.

You never know when I read "The King's New Clothes" with you in my mind.
I know that you are the little boy who told the truth.
I'll just be the mortal beings who dare not look up.
So close, yet so far.

Sorry, I'm used to cheating.
It's just that sometimes cheating makes me feel better.
We have our own world.
Parallel worlds will never intersect.

Sorry, I can't go to California with you.
You don't actually need to say I LOVE YOU to me.
Deceiving myself, I've had enough.

Are jobs in California okay?
After you're gone, I often go to Central Park by myself.
I saw a family of raccoons.
It's just that the audience is always just me.

The windows have been dirty for a long time.
My pilot also flew away.

New York is still cold in winter.
Snow is falling.
It's just that I can't see your clumsy figure again when I look back.
that night.
That snowy night when you called me out loud.

My fairy tale book is published.
Maybe this is the best gift for you.
The raccoon family is very happy, how about you?

Thank you for your love.
Thank you for the hug.
Thank you for your innocent smile.
Thank you for coming to my world.

WHEN I FIND YOU , I FIND ME.
