I will take the blade, Use my body to shield you, I’ll be fine, just live.

I want you to know, I may not be powerful, But I’ll protect you.

Honor thy love by: Iris

Note: So for Gilas and Wahid, I wanted to write something different, something I haven’t done for a very, very long time. I remember way back in sixth grade I read this story about a Japanese poet who went through many struggles as a young man and found comfort through writing haikus. A haiku is a Japanese poem with only seventeen syllables, with three lines, the first line composed of only five syllables, the second with seven syllables, and third with five, it’s quite simple actually but what makes it hard is how am I going to make it’s impact as strong as Ybrahim and Piry’s character tributes without making it too lengthy. Actually I’m not sure if haikus have titles (I think they don’t) but who cares?
