—————————–

sometimes i wonder if you were to exist in this cruel world,

if someone like you do exist.

someone out there would validate your existence.

i wouldn't hesitate to give you my all,

my everything,

because you deserve so much and to be completely honest?

I might not be enough.

—————————–

I remember those days where I would stare off in the far distance, wondering how we could live far away from the bustling cities, and to the unknown. Somewhere we could lost ourselves, in fresh foliage, flower fields, rivers and honeysuckle flowers.

I want to be lost alongside you, where we can laugh our problems away, where we don't think of anything else aside from the way we bask in each other's comforting presence.

We could live in a small hut, a cabin, or a tree house up in the wild. everywhere, anywhere.

I couldn't care less.

I just want a humble home where i could go home in after a tiring day of work.

I could pluck the vegetables from our fields, which we've plowed all day long three months ago.

You'll come home later that afternoon as the sun was quietly setting in the horizon along with its breathtaking orange glow. However, it was nothing compared to your face which gleam even more brighter accompanied with one of your warmest smile, a sign that you're proud of your today's accomplishment from selling coals in the nearby village.

Your beaming face was smeared with soot and dust from your excruciating day of hard work, but the big smile on your face won't go unnoticed. I'd walk up to you with a handkerchief from our freshly washed laundry I was folding prior before. I'll give you a smile as i wipe your stained cheeks, in return you'll let out a gentle laugh before a kind "I'm home." left your lips, I will smile back before tiptoeing to press a firm kiss on your forehead.

"Welcome back."

It was a September night, the outside world bit so cold. But strangely, our humble home was always warm. The hearth emitting gentle heat that swarms around the room, maybe because you're there, maybe because your presence made a difference.

Soon you'll be sat up comfortably near the irori, weaving a new basket out of bamboo skin for your business tomorrow morning. On the other hand, I would be busy preparing our dinner for tonight, it would be a simple dish enough to warm our stomach. I'm not a good cook myself, and I find it really unsettling, it somehow made me insecure. But you never once find the fault in it.

Light gently filter through the paper walls of our humble room. I felt your hand slowly caressing my hair, your gentle warmth emitting beside me. I snuggled even closer, basking in your comfortable embrace. A soft chuckle will left your lips before you pulled me even closer.

"Good morning."

Your voice, it sounds slightly rasp and worn.

Your morning voice, I always like it.

I'll open my eyes slowly and I'll be greeted with your still sleepy state, looking at me with those beautiful pools of color that I could always drown myself with. A small smile was etched across your lips in a slightly playful manner, suggesting you've had a nice sleep.

"Good morning." I'll greet back with a same smile. You'll drew me closer before pressing a gentle kiss against my forehead, this made my poor heart swoon and thump loudly against my chest.

In breakfast, we'll both prepare a light meal which we've gathered from our garden that cold morning. We'll have our small talks, hearty laughs, and throwing small jokes and teasing then and there.

First in our agenda today, we'll tend to our front and back garden and the few animals in our nearby shed. You'll find the hen's eggs slowly hatching from their straw nest, ready to be introduced to the world.

You'll come up to me excitedly as I was busy watering the flowers in our front yard.

I was confused when you stretch out your hands to me, an excited grin won't leave your lips as you slowly open your palms to reveal a tiny chick, it chirped slightly as though it was confused.

I was beyond surprised he managed to snatch it away from its mother. Well, I'm glad he isn't hurt or something.

I will pet the small chick in my hand, its small feathers were soft against my palm. Surprisingly it snuggled closer to my hand finding it warm for its comfort. An unconscious smile will stretch on my lips finding it adorable.

You on the other hand will watch me with eyes filled with adoration, your face will gleam with pure happiness, bliss, a sense of euphoria etched across your distant gaze. A thought must have appeared in your mind, coaxing you in dreamy thought一to the point that it almost felt comforting.

You had talk to me about this one midnight in such wee hours, for which we're both so immersed in our small talks while snuggled closer to each other. You had this slightly hesitant and almost embarrassed look prominent on your face, a noticeable blush dusting your cheeks in an innocent manner as you tried forming in the words you want me to hear.

It was a moment of nothing but pure happiness and ecstasy all combined when I heard you let out that one single word:

家族 - kazoku

Tanjiro is such a kind-hearted and generous young lad, he's so awfully kind and considerate in everything that he has ever done. His own family consist of 7 members, most composed of his siblings much younger than him, no wonder he's particularly good with kids in general.

He interact with them so well一talk in a way they will coaxed out of their fears, tell a catching story, even just the simple way of him talking to them was something that brought warmth to my heart.

Sometimes I'll caught his distant gaze on a small baby clad in her mother's arms, to the way he'll find the kids running around amusing that he'll let out a gentle laugh.

His eyes will always shine like no other.

No wonder this man wants to start his own family some day too.

一And the simple thought indeed makes me anticipate everything that could happen.

Can you imagine? A family with a person so kind, generous, loving, considerate, gentle, that it almost seemed so out of this world.

Someone like him was just too good to be true, that seeing him existing was beyond words.

"What are you thinking?" I'll ask him,

He'll drew the tiny chick closer to his chest, before a small yet distant smile etched itself across his lips. For a moment there he seemed to be in daze, in a comforting dream一one wouldn't even dare to wake him up. He looks so at peace, and just seeing him alone brought a surge of warmth inside me.

His eyes soon found mine, they held nothing but pure fondness and adoration一and they're all directed to me.

He soon reached for my hand, intertwining it with his own.
