1.How will you walk ahead?
2.Carrying the future that lies beyond
3.During a smooth and perfect voyage,
4.I couldn’t feel anything—there I was.5.
6.At the usual intersection, past the flower road,
7.The breath still turns white as it falls,
8.Above my head, a contrail races by
9.I chased after it before it disappeared.10.
11.Sometimes, we lose focus, but
12.Let’s keep going even if we take a detour.
13.We shared the sounds we split in half,
14.And I remember the song we hummed together.15.
16.I was so absorbed, searching for something to replace goodbye.
17.Those golden days before we unknowingly became adults,
18.Every moment was precious, without a chance to look back.
19.The words I couldn’t say even now,
20.That’s how we keep getting dyed in blue.21.
22.Spring felt like time stood still,
23.Summer showed small signs of moving forward,
24.The scent of fragrant olive hinted at autumn,
25.And the sky on the way home signaled the arrival of winter.26.
27.Let’s gaze at the distant sky
28.And lean on each other as we go.
29.We shared a meat bun, biting into it,
30.And I remember all the playful days we spent.31.
32.When love turned into hate, things we gave up on,
33.Even the groundless confidence that drove us forward—
34.All of it became nourishment, because nothing was meaningless.
35.From the depths of this blue, I’ll wipe away my tears, and carry this pain along with me.36.
37.The scenery I dreamed of isn’t here, but I still dwell on it.
38.Because all the hopes and regrets from that day are connected,
39.Toward the straight path ahead of me.40.
41.I was so absorbed, searching for something to replace goodbye.
42.Those golden days before we unknowingly became adults,
43.Every moment was precious, without a chance to look back.
44.The words I couldn’t say even now,
45.That’s how we keep getting dyed in blue.46.
47.So even now, I embrace the blue
48.And walk forward.
