There's a space where I hide you,
That is so invisible
Like the space between our gaze
Or the spaces between falling rain.

I secretly take you out from it at night
And at dawn, I'd hide you again.
These spaces become spaces again,
Nothing more.

But one night, you asked,
"Can I stay till sunrise?"
And I replied,
"Why not?"

Then the world found you,
And all the spaces that I hid you in,
Like the spaces between these words,
Or the spaces between parallel lines.
All the spaces were gone,
Along with you.

Why not?
So the world can't have you.
