To the family who gave me this life known as “Me”, always so warm:
It took being far away to realize how grand it is, having a place to return to.
To the friends who’ve walked different paths, who I can talk to without ever growing tired:
We’ve fallen in love, gotten in fights, cried, and laughed… all irreplaceable memories.
Living restless days, there are things we lose focus on
And it’s not easy to keep from forgetting them entirely.
Someday, this life will come to an end,
But even when that time comes,
If I can just leave this song behind,
I surely won’t be alone.
To the lovers who taught me the happiness, and sadness, of loving someone:
When I took your hand and you squeezed mine in return, it gave me strength.
Times like this, when nothing’s going well, are filled with nothing but things I don’t want to forget!
Someday, the time will come
When we’ll say our eternal goodbye.
If I can just leave this song behind,
I can always be by your side.
It’s still cold, spring days far away,
As I see snow dance down from a suffocating sky.
I stop where I am and picture in my heart: your voice that day… the scenery we saw…
To my younger self, smiling innocently from inside my photo albums:
“You’ll be surrounded by many kinds of love, and live happily ever after.”
Someday, this life will come to an end,
But even when that time comes,
If I can just leave this song behind,
I surely won’t be alone…
Not until I make it home once more.
