Dashing home from school
I’m going to the karaoke box with you
Standing on the sofa
I sing “good-bye days” over and over again
I’m always in tune with you
Free harmony
To the rhythm of the two of us
The strap of my cell phone swaying
You don’t talk much about yourself
But at this moment
But in this moment
I feel like I’m getting through to you
I feel that way.
I feel like crying.
It’s not because I’m sad.
It’s because
you’re still the same
I can’t tell anyone
I’ve been keeping it to myself
I could tell you my secrets
Because you’re still you
I haven’t seen you since the third grade
I was so nervous…
We lined up at the counter.
I drowned it out with a beer.
Your habit of joking when I compliment you
I knew he hadn’t changed.
We talked about the same things over and over
We laughed until we cried.
Even though
we were all walking different paths
I want to see
I can see
I feel that way
What I long for is
Not just strong.
But also because you’re unbeatable
Because you’re so kind
You laugh
at my weaknesses.
All the way through my heart
You’re the one who supports me
I feel like crying.
It’s not because I’m sad.
It’s because
you’re still the same
I dreamed of that day
The future is now
I’m sure you’re the one who made me realize
Because it’s still you
Because you’re still you
