Like a dream,
Those days left behind
Cowardly smiles
And gentle claws.
Like a boring flower petal,
I forgot my suffering,
And stuck to your back,
Simply laughing and crying.
Like thinking of days that will never return,
I was filled with a strangely precious feeling.
Inside a miniature garden,
I hid my breaths.
I forgot the passing of seasons
In a space of time that felt like
The quiet bottom of the sea.
Cold petals
Scatter into the night.
They’re just like white snow,
So heartbreaking.
But I just want to fend off
All the sorrows
That come floating down upon you.
There’s no way I can ever forgive
Anyone who tries to hurt you.
I want to go back
To those gentle days…
So badly I could cry.
Standing here together,
The petals we saw above
Scattered.
The moon hides in the clouds
And you lose your path forward.
You looked
Like you might start crying.
Even if our hearts are jagged,
If we at least try to put them together,
I’m sure something gentle
Will be born.
You said you’d never forgive
Anyone who tries to hurt me.
That’s all I need…
I clung to the hand
You’d extended so playfully.
A warm light was finally lit
Within this world I’d forsaken.
Cold petals
Cut through the night.
All I want
Is to bundle the light I’d plucked,
Sprinkling it upon you
Like pure happiness.
You promised that you’d get angry
If I ever did something bad, didn’t you?
That’s why I’m sure
You’ll find me one more time.
You don’t have to stay
In that lonely place.
Standing alone,
The petals I saw above
Scattered.
