Life I Want

Sometimes I want a different life.

I see you there, and think what it's like,

To be you.

I wonder what you think, feel, dream, and fear.

I wonder what your life is like,

Happy and sad alike.

I wonder what your day is like,

And wish I could see.

I want to be you,

I want to be everyone.

I want to know what they think and experience,

No matter how bland it may seem.

I don't care if you have a "boring" life,

That makes it all-the-better.

I want to see what everyone feels,

What you feel,

I want that life.

If only for a day,

Or two or three.

I want to Mitsuha,

I want to be Taki,

I want to be you.

I want to feel everything you do.

Everything challenge you may hate,

Every difficulty you face,

Everything you love,

Each precious moment,

Each passing thought,

You are so wonderful,

Even if you don't feel it so.

Each moment you live is beautiful,

No matter how trivial.

You are beautiful.

If only we could share that beauty,

Together.

If only I could have that beauty—that life.

I don't care what hardships I'd face—I just want a life.

I want to feel how I imagine you do—even if you neglect to notice.

Why can't I...

Why must I continue on like this...

When will my life begin...

Will it ever?

...Or has it already begun?

Because it doesn't feel so.

It feels like everyone else has a normal life,

One perhaps taken for granted.

Why?

Whywhywhy?

Can I please just...

...be you.

For a moment.
