1.On a day like any other,
2.You suddenly stood up and said,
3.“Let’s look up at the stars tonight!”4.
5.“Every once in a while you say something good!”
6.That’s what everyone said, laughing,
7.As we proceeded down a lightless path.
8.We were getting excited, like little kids, as we walked along,
9.Trying not to be crushed
10.By the loneliness and anxiety we were all facing.11.
12.We looked up from a pitch black world
13.And it looked like the night sky was raining stars.14.
15.Since when did I become someone
16.Who chases after you?
17.I’m begging you,
18.Listen without being surprised,
19.To these feelings I have.20.
21.“There’s Deneb, Altair, and Vega!”
22.I recall you pointing out the Summer Triangle
23.As I look up to the sky.
24.I’ve finally found Orihime-sama,
25.But where’s Hikoboshi-sama…?
26.At this rate she’ll be all alone.27.
28.You’re sitting happily beside me,
29.But I can’t say a thing…30.
31.The truth is
32.I’ve known all along, deep down,
33.That even if I found you,
34.I could never reach you.
35.“You mustn’t! Don’t cry!”
36.That’s what I’ve been telling myself.37.
38.I try to act strong, but I’m a coward;
39.I’ve been pretending that I’m not interested,
40.But…
41.The pain in my chest worsens.
42.“So this is what it’s like
43.To fall for someone, huh?”44.
45.I can hear my heart saying,
46.“What do you want to do? Go ahead and say it!”
47.I want to be next to you,
48.But reality is harsh.49.
50.I didn’t say it.
51.I couldn’t say it.
52.Now I can’t ever do it over.53.
54.The glistening stars
55.On that summer night,
56.Remain in my memories even now.
57.Your face when you smiled,
58.Your face when you got angry,
59.I loved them both so.
60.It’s strange,
61.Though I should have expected it all along.
62.You never knew
63.This secret I now bear alone.
64.Going beyond the night,
65.I see you in my distant memories
66.Pointing up to the sky
67.With innocence in your voice.
