1.Once upon a time, on a clear and starry night
2.Two hearts were born
3.One of them cried all the time
4.While the other was always smiling5.
6.Like reflections in a mirror
7.The two gazed at each other, puzzled
8.“Why do you cry so much?”
9.“Why are you able to smile so easily?”10.
11.Years passed, and time moved on
12.One of them decided to set off on a journey
13.Carrying both anxiety and hope,
14.They opened the door alone and said, “I’m off”15.
16.With every step, tears fell
17.There was a hint of regret, just a little
18.But even so, they chose to chase
19.The future they dreamed of20.
21.On their first lonely night
22.The stars played hide and seek behind the clouds
23.With a sigh, they whispered, “See you tomorrow”24.
25.And then, they found it—
26.Their very first friend
27.Though entirely different in shape and form
28.They completely rewrote what was “normal”
29.And at last, they were able to smile
30.Even though there were still days filled with tears
31.Perhaps, on that day when you smiled
32.You felt the way I do now33.
34.We were the same—looking in the mirror, you and I were identical
35.Not everything goes unrewarded
36.The night sky is this beautiful
37.We were the same
38.We were always the same39.
40.But still, something felt missing
41.And each night, I would remember42.
43.It seems I’m still good at crying
44.Ah, after all, I feel so lonely45.
46.In a hurry, I dashed out the door
47.Stuffing all the words I wanted to say into my pocket
48.Pretending to be as brave as I could
49.Practicing how to smile50.
51.But even when I returned home, I felt empty
52.I stood frozen, holding the doorknob
53.Where are you now? I can’t tell anymore
54.Have you forgotten about me?55.
56.Just as I was about to give up
57.I heard the sound of crying from far away
58.It was a voice so familiar
59.And yet, one I had never heard before
60.When I looked up, the Geminid meteor shower streaked across the sky
61.“We finally found each other”62.
63.We met again
64.With smiles and tears all mixed together
65.Endlessly longing for things we didn’t have
66.This is the story of two identical souls
67.We cried the same way
68.Without caring who might see, crying loudly
69.Seeing you cry so much like this
70.For some reason, it made me laugh71.
72.We were the same—looking in the mirror, you and I were identical
73.Not everything goes unrewarded
74.The night sky is this beautiful
75.We were the same—though I couldn’t understand you back then
76.If it were me now, what could I say
77.To the you of that time?
78.We were the same
79.We were always the same80.
81.Once upon a time, on a clear and starry night
82.Two hearts were born
83.One of them cried all the time
84.While the other was always smiling85.
86.We’re still not perfect, not yet
87.But I’ve found the emotions I was missing
88.“When I thought of you, it made me cry”
89.“Next time, I want to smile beside you”
