my enigma

A/N: a random one... maybe inspired by too much looking at seobaby's pictures online since it's her birthday today and I'm so anxious for a fan account of her surprise birthday party wishing and hoping for a surprise would also come from her pretend-better-half... sorry for the use of term, it pains me too to say that one, but that's actually a fact... or I'm just conditioning my mind here (?)

going back to this one-shot... I dunno really what to make of it...

a mixture of rhyme-less poem and a random short story...

this just became my favorite yongseo one-shot so far... idk... my taste buds feels weird...

okay, time to shut up now...

here it is...








my enigma...

It was spring when I first tasted blood from a broken nose...

she was floating in a branch by that lone tree, feet dangling

I was flying my kite on the brisk air

she was counting clouds with her bare hands...

she pointed one and mumbled to herself

“that one is a cow...”

I laughed out loud and she lost her balance

Minutes later, I was saving my life

the girl started chasing me with her fist...




It was summer when I first smelled cow's poop from landing on one

she was singing by herself on that broken fence

I was standing close to redeem my broken nose

she bobbed her head from side-to-side with eyes shut tight

I laughed out loud and called her names

Moments later, I was flying on a ditch

the girl could kick so well...




It was autumn when I first felt how painful to fall on a dead old tree

she was stretching her arms up on that starry night

I was moving close to give her a shock

she was catching stars and was throwing them back

I laughed out loud and forgot why I was there

Seconds later, she was on top of me feeding me grass

the girl was a monster, indeed!




It was winter when I first heard her cry

she was sitting under the old dead tree curled in a ball

I was standing there unable to move

she cried softly against the cold of the night

I tried to laugh out loud but my voice got stuck

In a matter of seconds, I was on my knee

she took my hanky and blew her nose

the girl was a surprise after all...




another spring,

another summer,

another autumn,

and another winter had passed

the girl became the puzzle I started to solve...


another spring,

another summer,

another autumn,

and another winter had passed

the girl I followed on just like a shadow...


another spring,

another summer,

another autumn,

and another winter had passed

the girl asked why I stayed behind...


another spring,

another summer,

another autumn,

and another winter had passed

my answers never changed


it was the way she named the clouds

it was the way she sang her songs

it was the way she held her stars

it was the way she cried her tears


another spring,

another summer,

another autumn,

and another winter had passed

I asked the girl asked why she remained by me...


another spring,

another summer,

another autumn,

and another winter had passed

her answers never changed


it was the way I laughed at her

it was the way I listened to her songs

it was the way I watched her catch her stars

it was the way I wiped her tears


another spring,

another summer,

another autumn,

and another winter had passed...

she remained my enigma

I stayed by her side...
