Original Submission by Ng Ka Ying

My Sweet,

I want to live in Switzerland with you.

Where the sun doesn‘t set until we go to sleep.

I would have to imagine us sleeping under the sun instead of the stars.

Do you smell the grass here?

It is fresh with mountain dew.

I want to live in the balls of your eyes,

do you see the sky in a deeper shade of blue,

the grass livelier,

and me prettier than I do myself?

Something is coming my way, love,

suddenly, the wind howls and pushes us.

So I shrink into the size of a butterfly to climb on your back and cling to your hair.

Go swimming with me, my sweet,

go diving into the bottomless lake with me,

and let us be forever intertwined by the long strands of seaweeds.
