Perfect Pitch
i can catch your voice.
i can catch the velvety warmth, piercing coldness ,
rosy thorns, and blurry dawn in your voice.
i can catch every emotion reflected in your voice,
even sorrow, even despair.
because i love you,
i can feel your heart that hides behind your voice.
i just love you.
so, please don’t hear my voice.
i just hear your voice.
that’s all i want you to know.
i want to know your voice more and more.
even when i can’t touch your lips,
i want to hear at least your voice.
your voice that blends with your heartbeats is my everything.
i have perfect pitch for you.
