1.Dearly, I send this to you, Lily
2.As for my days
3.I spend them much the same as always
4.Since that day when everything changed
5.My days have been like this:
6.My heart feels unbearably heavy
7.And yet my body drifts light as air
8.As if being gently lured
9.Toward some faint fragrance in the wind
10.That’s how my days have been11.
12.A sudden summer breeze made the white flowers sway
13.It brushed against the hollow shell of my heart
14.It was you who found me with those eyes, wasn’t it?15.
16.Dear me
17.The pain I’ve been holding on to
18.Will it scatter, scatter away?
19.So much beauty
20.The scenery you showed me
21.Is blooming, blooming still
22.If that pitch-black sea
23.So deep no shadow can fall upon it, could take in this farewell
24.That’s lost its place to go
25.I almost wished it would
26.But then, you erred, and still breathed again
27.This isn’t the me of today
28.But a Lily sent to the me of that day29.
30.As for my days
31.I slip my neck through a freshly washed uniform
32.And feel the chill against my skin
33.As for my days
34.It feels like I’ve been left behind
35.Yet maybe it’s me who has left the memories behind
36.Adding one more candle, alone
37.Coming to know the coldness of this life38.
39.Even ordinary things became impossible
40.I only ever watched the world through a windowpane
41.What, I wonder, could these eyes ever find?42.
43.Dear me
44.The blade that stayed lodged inside—
45.It still, still throbs with pain
46.How awful—because
47.Even if I hurt you
48.I’m not sure my heart would move at all49.
50.I51.
52.I kept a heart so dense
53.It could sink to the ocean floor
54.Breathing in sorrow again and again
55.Until I nearly couldn’t breathe anymore56.
57.But58.
59.Dear me
60.The pain I’ve been holding on to
61.Will it scatter, scatter away?
62.So much beauty
63.The scenery you showed me
64.Is blooming and cannot stop
65.In your sea-like eyes
66.Smiling as though you already know everything—
67.How do I look, reflected there?
68.If only you would sink with me
69.But then you smiled again and breathed once more
70.This isn’t the me of today
71.But a Lily sent to the me of that day72.
73.A Lily sent to the me of that day74.
75.As for my days
76.I spend them much the same as always
77.Ever since the day you appeared
