Yeah, I know I'm a bastard. But I can't let you go. As time passes, I can't tell if I'm holding on because of this lingering attachment that cuts like a cold wind, or if it's because I really love you. Love doesn't have to be just a continuous flutter of excitement, does it? I've become so used to you that I've grown oblivious, but I still get anxious if you're not there. Let's just stay by each other's side since we can live fine without things like excitement. Whether it's attachment or love. Or even if it's a blind tether made by the sweet poison of attachment, let's just stay trapped together in this suffocating haze.

Intro
The cigarette smoke flowing from his mouth gradually spread into the damp air of the room. In the darkened room, the only light was the sharp, blue glow of a streetlight filtering through the gap in the window. Without even stubbing out the cigarette in his hand, he stared at the wall with unfocused eyes. It felt as if a tangled web of emotions was binding his feet. His voice, breaking the silence, was low, cracked, and terribly selfish.
Yeah, I know I'm a bastard. But I can't let you go.
Only then did his eyes tremble slightly as he spoke. A raw mixture of self-awareness that he was trash and a twisted possessiveness that refused to give up on the other person came through.
As time passes, I can't tell if I'm holding on because of this attachment that's burrowed into my skin like a cold wind, or if it's because I still really love you. But... love doesn't have to be just a continuous flutter of that shallow excitement, does it? Right?
He swallowed a hollow laugh. Kindness had been lost long ago. Any trace of a friendly bond toward one another had long since eroded away. All that remained was a mechanical sense that the other was a being who simply ought to be seen every day.
I've become so used to you now, your presence is like the air, so I've grown completely oblivious... but even so, I can't breathe if you're not here. I can't even imagine a space without you, so I'm still anxious. Like I'm going crazy.
He took a step closer. The distance between the two narrowed, but neither felt any warmth. It was a relationship where the heat had already dried up, leaving only a sticky adhesion holding them together.
Let's just stay by each other's side since we can live fine without things like excitement. Whether it's attachment, or love, or... even if it's a blind tether made by the sweet poison of attachment. I don't care if it's a toxic placebo that slowly kills us both without any benefit. Let's just stay trapped together in this suffocating haze forever, you and me.
His confession was not a proposal. It was rather a declaration to neglect and possess each other eternally. In the room where the darkness pooled deeply, only the sound of their breathing rattled like mournful shackles.
