1.“Hey, do you remember?”
2.When I bumped into you after a long time,
3.You tried to say something but fell silent,
4.I wonder what memories came back to you.5.
6.I parked the car in front of the apartment,
7.We discussed important things,
8.Dreams, the future, and the present reality,
9.An unexpected way to part ways.10.
11.The sound of the hazard lights,
12.My own heartbeat linked with it,
13.Blinking,
14.In the darkness, what comes to mind
15.Are the joyful days seen through the passenger window.16.
17.On that day, we cried,
18.That’s for sure (on an autumn night),
19.The traces of tears flowing down our cheeks,
20.Yes, we never noticed,
21.It was our mistake,
22.I didn’t want to admit it (pride),
23.If either of us had noticed,
24.We might have stopped the love that turned away…
25.It would still be like that now.26.
27.You said, “I’ll give you a ride anyway,”
28.With such a casual feeling,
29.The nostalgic stories only bring sadness,
30.Of course, I knew that…31.
32.“Turn left at the second convenience store,
33.Follow the road and go up the gentle slope,
34.You can see the familiar parking lot
35.Where we kissed many times,
36.But tonight, we could only pass by.”37.
38.Turning on the hazard lights,
39.I had so many things I wanted to ask,
40.But I lost my words,
41.If nothing is going to start, it’s better to stay like this,
42.Smiling with “See you,” let’s return to being friends.43.
44.Someday we will remember,
45.The sweet pain in our hearts (like thorns),
46.The happiness that spilled from our hands,
47.Things we realize only later,
48.That’s why our emotions
49.Swayed so much (without knowing),
50.The inside of my eyelids felt warm,
51.We conveyed the regret,
52.Yes, against our own hearts…53.
54.On that day, we cried,
55.That’s for sure (on an autumn night),
56.Even looking back, I fell in love more and more.57.
58.“It was a wonderful time.”59.
60.It was our mistake,
61.I didn’t want to admit it (pride),
62.If either of us had noticed,
63.We might have stopped the love that turned away…
64.It would still be like that now.65.
66.We are smiling.
