I remember your warmth
My right hand in yours, my right shoulder touching yours
I remember your smile
The dark expressions you’d suddenly get were lovely too
Even things too good to be true, leaving me no room to breathe
I felt I could accept them because of you
Goodbye to it all! Forget everything
Words that fade along with the scent of dusk
Look only onward! Leave me all alone
To head for a summer without you
To head for a sky without you
You say you’re going to chase your dreams
“Then I’ll…” but I have nothing to finish the sentence with.
The beat of my heart, and the unease I felt each day,
Had been under your complete control all along
When I met you that day
Something surely came to life inside me
Goodbye to it all! I’ll someday forget
The old clock counting down to the end of this love
I’ll drink down my tears and become an adult
In a summer without you
Heading for a sky without you
Even if life is full of pain
Even if I don’t know the reason I’m alive
You’re there, touched by the scent of those fading days
Once I become an adult and learn how to fly
I’ll fly even higher than you,
Look down from the sky above,
And call you an idiot
Let’s make that the end of it
Goodbye to it all! Though everything was so precious:
The trees, the sunset, the endless laughter of cicadas…
Look only onward! ‘Cause if you don’t go quickly
I’ll leave you behind,
Heading for a sky without you
