Ramune
A bottle of things I can’t wait to see;
A bottle, full of my mere fantasies.
Playing marbles outside with you,
Feeling my pain; seeing it through—
Seeing the sunset; watching it through,
Full of hopes and dreams, for and with you,
We watched blooming fireworks within the sky;
I fell in love, but with who, and then why?
The sunset sky I hated to see;
The sky; full of dreadful fantasies.
A bottle in hand, I laugh and then stand;
I'm reluctant to crush it—
The definition of “lovesick.”
So they won’t laugh,
I hold my breath,
I’m drowning within
Useless regrets—
I’m sitting with you,
Now one; back then: two—
The flaming petals burst and sway,
Full of things I couldn’t say that day.
I’m crying, but smiling;
I’m laughing, but dying—
The fireworks burst, now afraid to die;
My drink overflows, trapping me inside—
Don’t you reach out
Or make a sound—
I press your lips to mine, afraid to die;
You cling to me, also trapped inside—
This Ramune overflows within hopeful guise—
I can’t touch the marble,
But I’m still alive.

Ramune is a type of Japanese soda. The bottle is usually made of glass, with an indentation at the neck, and, when you open it, a marble will fall into the seal to increase shelf life and preserve carbonation.
Some things are best left as-is, no matter how frustrating they may seem.
