1.Beyond the corner, shimmering heat haze sways
2.Kicking the burning asphalt, the laughing image of me flickered and disappeared3.
4.No matter how I chased it, it slipped away, the raw scent of summer lingering like an afterimage
5.I watched the shadow stretching out from the soda bottle I emptied at the candy shop6.
7.I wanted to pick up the marble that clinked against the floor
8.I guess being surrounded by things I want hasn’t changed even now9.
10.The shadow dissolving into the street corner, the grains of light sparkling
11.I look like the me who walks through the gaps in trembling summer memories
12.I wonder if I still find only the sunset sky reflected on the water beautiful
13.A single word scatters my memories in every direction
14.It’s so dazzling I can’t stand it
15.It won’t disappear, but I can’t grasp it16.
17.Beyond the corner, shimmering heat haze sways
18.Staining my new clothes, the innocent me waved his hand, then flickered and disappeared19.
20.At the shout of “Ready, go!” I took off running, wanting the first-place flag
21.Things never went well, and that hasn’t changed even now22.
23.Where am I heading, gathering these grains of light?
24.I hope even my words, with no place to go, will someday reach someone25.
26.The shadow dissolving into the street corner, the grains of light sparkling
27.I look like the me who walks through the gaps in trembling summer memories
28.I wonder if I still find only the quiet moon floating in the night sky beautiful
29.Your face burns itself into the back of my eyelids
30.It’s so dazzling I can’t stand it
31.My memories overflow until they blur
32.They won’t disappear, but I can’t grasp them33.
34.Maybe it’s just because of summer
