1.I thought I heard your voice, and I turned around
2.In 1991, I was born—spent my days staring only at my shoes3.
4.I always laughed to hide the scars and loneliness that would never fade
5.In 1991, I was in love, as if peering into a shining past6.
7.Hey, I never realized something so simple
8.I wasn’t kind—I just wanted to stay with you forever9.
10.Cherry blossoms fall softly, fluttering down like snow
11.Can I endure a life without you?12.
13.No matter where I was, or who I was with, it was never here
14.I didn’t want to live, but I didn’t want to die either15.
16.Pretending to look into the distance, when all I really wanted was to cry and scream
17.In 1991, I was in love, clinging to a past that had already gone18.
19.Hey, at the end of a faint trembling, that’s where we met
20.I couldn’t breathe—I just wanted to stay with you forever21.
22.Cherry blossoms fall softly, fluttering down like snow
23.Can I endure a life without you?24.
25.In 1991, I fell in love like a flicker of light
26.In 1991, I lived as if I were dreaming
