Sitting at the register
Of the deserted antique store
Flipping through the weekly magazine
I love you, part-timer
I wandered
Around the store idly
Pretending to pick up an item
I watched the beautiful you
But always, always
You’d see me come alone
Buying some random junk
You’d think I’m weird, right?
A skinny pig
A golden chamber pot
Just why
Did I buy these?
Before I knew it
It’s just these things
My narrow room started to fill up
With my love for you
And these heartful antiques
And then, I’d walk past
The store countless times
One day, you flashed me
An affectionate smile
“You have a strange hobby”
You commented on my mysterious hoarding
I just want to confess to you now
That I’d like you to fall for me too
Large shoes
A rusted mirror
I bought
These items today
Someday
I want to show them to you
All accumulated in my room
The firm feelings
In my heart are antiques
A skinny pig
A golden chamber pot
Just why
Did I buy these?
Before I knew it
It’s just these things
My narrow room started to fill up
With my love for you
And these heartful antiques
