1.The sound of rain tapped the window — I listened from my bed
2.Even as I looped that MD I once borrowed
3.I couldn’t remember the name of the song you used to hum
4.“Isn’t it strange, rain on a sunny day?”
5.You almost started repeating that short phrase
6.(That moment when you laughed and your tears fell)
7.The melody is lost, hidden in the passing shower
8.(A melody we whispered, hiding away together.)
9.Endless boring days repeat until summer arrives
10.And we hide our tears and true feelings
11.At some point, we forgot those fleeting moments
12.That now pour down from the sunny sky13.
14.Cicadas cry, beating against the sky — I looked up from the bus stop
15.Memories shimmer beyond the sunlight blowing in the breeze
16.You were taking shelter from the rain under the big tree in the park
17.I ran there, completely soaked
18.We both wore troubled faces, gazing at the cloudy sky
19.(With composed expressions, those precious moments…)
20.We listened closely to an unforgettable melody
21.(A melody just beginning, one we didn’t yet know)
22.The days we raced through — and the summer we couldn’t keep up with — returned
23.Summer ended, we waved goodbye
24.And in the moment you shouted, “Let’s play again next year!”
25.Tears welled up in your smiling eyes
26.A long season passed as we played, forgetting time
27.When I went there, you were always there, in an endless moment without promises
28.So many stories overflow29.
30.The thick clouds parted, the sun too bright to bear
31.You turned and smiled — that was the moment I first fell in love
32.Summer arrived again, slipping past while I still couldn’t take a step forward
33.If only I could smile again like that day…
34.In that fleeting moment when I ran past the repeating melody
35.Rain began to fall from the clear sky36.
37.Isn’t it strange?
