1.The day I grabbed your hand,
2.We ran across the schoolyard.
3.Pretending we had no destination,
4.We jumped on the train.5.
6.My youthful challenge,
7.The greatest in my life,
8.Was never updated,
9.And I became an adult.10.
11.Back then, I couldn’t drink
12.Alcohol, holding it in one hand.
13.I’ve even forgotten the juice you always drank.
14.The lukewarm sea breeze blew, saying, “Remember.”
15.The taste I had when I took a sip
16.Was the taste of love.17.
18.Saying I still love you,
19.I want to hide that now.
20.It was a summer unlike any before,
21.Summer time with you.
22.Saying “I hope it reaches you” is a lie,
23.Stay inside me.
24.Sweet and sour,
25.Like the sea and lemon tea.26.
27.Chasing the profile
28.In the school uniform,
29.What should I say
30.If I meet the grown-up you?31.
32.Walking clumsily
33.On the sandy beach,
34.My left hand searches for the familiar warmth.
35.Without joy or sorrow,
36.Just looking down.37.
38.I wanted to convey it properly,
39.This faint love.
40.No one else can fill the void,
41.The memory with you.
42.At the sea under cloudy skies,
43.I recall you on a sunny day.
44.The taste I’ll never have again
45.Is the sea and lemon tea.46.
47.No matter how many times I feel summer,
48.I can never return to that summer.
49.A love where I can’t even shout “I love you.”
50.I can still remember
51.The sound of your voice as you spoke.
52.I can recall it all, yet…53.
54.I love you,
55.Even now, always, always.
56.I can’t forget you.
57.Summer time with you.
58.Saying “I hope it reaches you” is a lie,
59.Stay inside me.
60.Bittersweet and sweet,
61.Your lemon tea.
