1.The cherry blossoms have bloomed,
2.Spring has come,
3.And you, so gentle,
4.Offer up your prayers.5.
6.I hurried ahead,
7.Boarded the bus
8.Without looking back.9.
10.Even so, I kept on,
11.Living brightly,
12.Though forgetting
13.Would make things easier.14.
15.Everything feels like it’s part of a memory,
16.And though it hurts, it fills me with tenderness.17.
18.Hey, I wonder how far
19.My voice can reach.
20.The warmth of being loved
21.Lingers,
22.You haven’t faded from me.23.
24.My feelings waver,
25.And as I lift my gaze,
26.Spring is in full bloom,
27.So beautiful,
28.Maybe even the sadness will fade away.
29.I smile a little and whisper to the sky,
30.“I miss you.”31.
32.Stumbling as I walk,
33.I have no room
34.To steady myself,
35.Though I’m trying my best.36.
37.Walking on with these wounds,
38.Stubbornly refusing to lose, even though I’m weak.39.
40.Hey,
41.In the “after” you never saw,
42.I want to show you
43.There’s still a smile here—
44.Yes, I still have a smile.45.
46.Tears of joy
47.Are ready to fall
48.As petals dance around.
49.There’s always this loneliness,
50.Only beginnings blooming before me,
51.And I’m here all alone,
52.Missing you.53.
54.(Farewell)55.
56.Even if I cry, asking why,
57.Time will flow on.
58.Spring—spring—spring will come again.59.
60.My feelings waver,
61.And as I lift my gaze,
62.I feel like saying goodbye,
63.And maybe that’s okay.
64.Crying over and over, then smiling once more.65.
66.My feelings waver,
67.And as I lift my gaze,
68.Spring is in full bloom,
69.So beautiful,
70.Someday, I’ll tell you I’m happy.
71.So until then, please keep smiling.
72.I whisper to the sky,
73.“I miss you.”
