One Bright Bite

Mirai//K

At the corner by the station

A mango stand in the heat

Plastic knife on a paper plate

Orange shining at my feet

You once told me lemon

Makes the sweetness come alive

I laughed like I knew it

But I never knew that bright

Was it always this golden?

Was it always this sweet?

One taste and the old days

Slip right off of me

Mango stand, mango stand

Take me where you are

Mango stand, mango stand

Sweet as a stolen star

Mango stand, mango stand

Come on, don't need a reason

One bright bite

And I'm lost in the season

Did mango always taste like this?

Like sun inside my mouth

A little drop of lemon

Turns the whole thing inside out

Bright orange in the daylight

Made for the burning sky

Your whisper used to hold me

Now the sweetness gets me high

Was it always this golden?

Was it always this sweet?

One taste and the old days

Slip right off of me

Mango stand, mango stand

Take me where you are

Mango stand, mango stand

Sweet as a stolen star

Mango stand, mango stand

Come on, don't need a reason

One bright bite

And I'm lost in the season

Paper bag, warm skin

Lemon on my wrist

The world can wait outside

For a minute like this

I still feel the old ache

But I won't say your name

I just want this sunlight

Running through my veins

Mango stand, mango stand

Take me where you are

Mango stand, mango stand

Sweet as a stolen star

Mango stand, mango stand

Come on, don't need a reason

One bright bite

And I'm lost in the season

Mango stand, mango stand

Say it like a prayer

Mango stand, mango stand

Meet me over there

Mango stand, mango stand

You and me, we're glowing

One bright bite

And the whole street knows it

One bright bite

Still on my tongue

Mm-mm-mm

Mm

Mm-mm-mm

    Blame It on the Night

    Mirai//K

After someone leaves, the things they left behind keep holding the room.

A hoodie still draped over the chair in July.
A coffee mug staring back from the midnight sink.
A striped umbrella by the front door, even on sunny days.
Mail still arriving in their name, season after season.
A photograph on the screen, still laughing, still bright.

Can't throw them away. Can't get them back. Can't decide.
And in that in-between space, only the objects keep faithful time.

Loss doesn't move in straight lines.
The mind tries to forget, but the heart remembers.
The objects stay exactly where they were.
Time passes, the days grow lighter, you sing a quiet song,
you eat something sweet to face the morning -
and then, without warning, a photograph pulls you back.

A smile that looks like it was taken just yesterday.
The time capsule is cruel that way.

But slowly, the memory becomes something else -
deep and shallow at the same time -
until one day, it turns into gratitude.
Only those who have lived it truly understand.

"Keepsakes" is a song cycle of nine quiet farewells -
nine objects holding the weight of someone no longer here.
A love album for those moments
when the past refuses to stay in the past.

A mango eaten one summer afternoon.
Taillights bleeding into the rain on a midnight drive.
An umbrella waiting for a sky that won't change its mind.

Each thing remembers what the heart still cannot let go.
The pain hidden inside the bright moments,
and the light that flickers within the pain -
both are held here, side by side.

Written from a place beyond the wound -
not erasing the pain, not running from it,
but choosing to let these small things stay,
"like proof that it was real."
