They came for a different perspective

Lying in this dungeon through the ages
Alone you remain unheard
Thinking of sunshine in a dark cell
You wish you’d fly off like a bird

Haruka wrapped his fingers around mine. Delicately fingering the creases on my knuckles, he lets his palm glide over mine. The fingers come after it, like a lazy afterthought. The forest is another world. Once you’re lost, there is never going back he sings to me.
