1.I ran,
2.In a daze,
3.Until I reached the bottom
4.Of this descent.
5.But the train was already leaving,
6.As if marking a divide
7.Between this love.
8.Memories of far off days
9.And the sparkling of the sea;
10.That season comes around again
11.And I’m squinting up
12.At vapor trails in the sky.13.
14.That gently swaying sunflower
15.Still can’t say
16.Its goodbye,
17.Still feeling a twinge of pain
18.In the space
19.Of just one millimeter.
20.If those summer fireworks that disappeared
21.Can be reflected where these tears fall,
22.I will
23.Surely remember
24.And let you know
25.That I’m right here,
26.Waiting.27.
28.I told you I didn’t need an answer,
29.Making a liar
30.Of myself.
31.So I go to collapse upon the beach,
32.Even though I’m just giving in
33.To defeated thoughts
34.Of what tomorrow will bring.35.
36.The view
37.Beyond the horizon
38.Is slowly sinking.
39.If I could just cry right now,
40.I’d be a little closer
41.To being honest with myself…
42.When our fingers
43.Touched,
44.This loneliness suddenly came unraveled.
45.I will
46.Gently
47.Close my eyes
48.And let you know,
49.That I’m right here,
50.Waiting.51.
52.That gently swaying sunflower…
53.The way I was
54.That one day.
55.I don’t want to accept
56.That my bangs have grown long…
57.‘Cause nothing else has changed at all!58.
59.I turn back at the sound of the wind,
60.But you’re still
61.Nowhere to be found,
62.I will
63.Quietly
64.Make a wish,
65.And let you know,
66.That I’m right here,
67.Waiting.
