By the time I noticed, I was already amidst the storm,
Having forgotten the way home.
Close to my heart, I held my empty briefcase
Filled with nothing but the scent of memories.
Amid wind and rain that steal the time away,
I became unable to see… unable to hear…
My body alone moved automatically,
Protecting with all its might… this heart on the verge of tears.
If I were to stop, it seems everything might just disappear…
So in tandem with the pain, I hide my heart.
If I were to turn back, it seems I might just get sucked in…
So I keep this moment on repeat- with cowardly claws and fangs.
My entire life force is screaming now
For the sole purpose of remaining here.
The memories given to me by these tears
Become a strength that connects my breaths.
After losing any number of things,
Something remained powerfully- one single thing remained.
Those voices, like shooting stars,
Flew one by one into my ears before glittering bright.
Assembling like a school of fish in my chilled heart,
A spot of sunlight was formed.
Realizing that it was expanding into an aurora,
My eyes suddenly met with a bug down at my feet, and I smiled-
I’d encountered footsteps that sound different from my own;
It was that voice that showed me everything.
I don’t know how to interact with things normally,
But when I was at a loss, that hand reached out to me;
Now, no matter how many dark nights I may pass through,
This endless fever will continue to pulse!
Just by the fact you exist,
Everything alive shines so bright.
Within this frozen heart,
Your heartbeat rings aloud, lighting a fire.
Even if I can never understand it,
I’ll be by your side – closer than anyone!
My empty briefcase is still just as empty,
Picking up more of that beloved weight.
But the heavier it got, I became scared.
I held it tight so it wouldn’t get crushed!
I’ll take hold… of that hand that took hold of mine.
So rip through the darkness, cowardly claws and fangs!
My entire life force is screaming now
For the sole purpose of remaining here.
In order to properly protect you,
I was born into this body that was made for me.
Words beyond tears
Are communicated by that heartbeat, becoming my courage.
Just by the fact you exist,
Ahh, I still feel so warm!
After losing any number of things,
Something remained powerfully- one single thing remained.
I’ll never let us be separated… you’ll always be by my side:
Deep within me – closer than anyone.
Those voices, like shooting stars,
Flew one by one into my ears before glittering bright.
