1.The towering clouds, surely,
2.Were just doodles drawn on paper.3.
4.The hoarse voice, surely,
5.Was just a misheard ringing in my ears.6.
7.So suffocating,
8.So blinding,9.
10.Everything was beautiful.
11.What should I call *that*?12.
13.You are…14.
15.Memories,
16.A rusted iron bridge,
17.I turned my feet toward it without anyone knowing.18.
19.The damp smell was surely
20.A refuge for outcasts.21.
22.The thin badge,
23.The sticker that quickly peeled off,
24.They were all treasures.25.
26.At some point, I became serious,
27.Though I don’t really know why,
28.And sometimes, that truly terrifies me.29.
30.Goodbye, My D××r,
31.Please, don’t get tainted.
32.Stay delicate,
33.In that deep blue landscape.34.
35.When the summer passed,
36.And I held my breath,
37.I finally sunk into regret.38.
39.In the falling evening rain,
40.A glimpse of the clearing sky—
41.That same unbearably clear texture and scent.42.
43.The deep blue that struck my cheek,
44.I realized it,45.
46.But, tragically,
47.It suddenly disappeared.48.
49.Dear Sir,
50.I was, surely,
51.Afraid of being ridiculed.52.
53.I hated being called gloomy,
54.And always being bullied.55.
56.That’s why, with love,
57.Everything that was too much for me to handle—58.
59.I left it all behind,
60.And lived on.61.
62.In the falling evening rain,
63.A glimpse of the clearing sky,64.
65.So much that I felt like drowning
66.In the deep blue I breathed in and out.67.
68.How pitiful,
69.I’ve thought this for so long.70.
71.Farewell,72.
73.Goodbye, My D××r,
74.Please, don’t forget.
75.Leave behind a scar
76.In that deep blue landscape.77.
78.I’ve written off the passing summer
79.So many times,
80.And finally decided to let go.81.
82.The towering clouds, surely,
83.Were just doodles I drew.84.
85.The distorted sky, surely,
86.Was just a solitary illusion.87.
88.So painful to touch,
89.So hard to look away,90.
91.It all
92.Looked real to me.
