1.Wishing for a tiny miracle, I dive into a lively crowd,
2.Softly sounding out the heartbeat hidden under my yukata.
3.As you walk on slightly ahead, each small step I take toward you is endlessly far away.4.
5.Even your voice, as you call to me, is so vacant;
6.That seat next to you is always reserved for her!7.
8.My boldly dyed heart has an orange cider taste,
9.But all the words I hurriedly drank down just came spurting out…
10.The fireworks blooming in a summer-colored sky,
11.Were illuminating two shadows huddled close together;
12.A wish that will never come true…13.
14.But once I dispel the expectations I’d held, limiting the time I spend strung out,
15.You come to me, and we’re all alone – see? You’re so unfair!
16.Though I usually don’t even catch your eye, you go and expose my timid nature that no one even knows…17.
18.I lit a fire in my heart, which seemed about to freeze –
19.Even if I won’t ever be able to forget, I’m giving up on you!20.
21.You touched me as I was swaying uncertainly,
22.And once again accelerated the feeling I’d kept gently in check.
23.Darkness envelopes the two of us, and for the time being,
24.Is keeping my stubborn self honest.25.
26.From this orange cider taste that will never fade away,
27.Without even thinking, I can remember every detail of you.
28.Beneath fireworks that blanket the summer sky,
29.I quietly make wish after wish upon those two shadows huddled close together.
30.Next year, I want to be by your side… a wish I want to make come true.
