(Rin smile The promise that the two of us will always dance together
is turned into a lie by my growing bosom.
With our blond hair reflected in the mirror,
we take turns combing for each other.
(Len smile We used to be rocked in the same bed.
The two of us were connected with our hands held together.
(Rin smile Now an unrecognized face is reflected, and the whispering voice deeper.
I will shatter that mirror with this hammer in my hand.
(Len smile Tearing down our built toy castle into pieces,
our creaking bones are the bell that announces the end to the knight and the princess.
(Len smile In the distorted mirror, with hands folded, our fingers are not of the same length.
(Rin smile From now on we will sleep in separate beds?
You whisper to me "good night."
As you turn the doorknob and open the door,
I jump to that sound and grab the edge of your clothes.
(Len smile I kiss your extended fingers,
in that instant an impulse runs through my spine.
(Rin smile Don't turn off the light if I'm sleeping alone at night.
As I scream "no," I will pound my pillow with my right hand.
(Len smile Saying things like "I'm scared of ghosts," you're such a baby, my princess.
Your watery eyes, however, are hinting to me something different.
(Rin smile Our private time unknown to daddy and mommy,
is it finally over? It's a faraway dream.
(Len smile Your body temperature, through the thin blanket,
breaks open my lock.
(Rin smile As we silently lock the door,
our gazing pupils are looking for an answer.
(Len smile I erase my childish excuse together with the light.
If I can no longer pick up your hair, then I will also tell lies.
(Rin smile Stopping time, we now embrace tightly,
as we try to synchronize our ticking heartbeats.
(Len smile With your melting hot breath and hugging warmth,
I won't make any further move. It's as if I'm your knight.
-adolescence, Rin and Len
