1.In the early morning,
2.On the narrow bypass road to the national highway
3.You muttered, “There’s nothing to be afraid of,”
4.Tears flowed at the words meant to see you off5.
6.Our conversations were trivial,
7.But we laughed in the messy room
8.Not fearing to chase our dreams,
9.We decided to say goodbye to the town we were born in10.
11.“I’ll come see you someday,”
12.“I’ll never forget,”
13.Even the eyes you waved with,
14.I vow in my heart without saying it15.
16.Encounters and farewells in the departing sky,
17.Painting all the days of youth
18.Someday, we’ll make big flowers bloom for each other,
19.Beautiful flowers, and laugh together again20.
21.With that day in my heart, the road continues aimlessly,
22.Connecting with sleepless nights23.
24.In between the dreams about to come true, and the words I started to write,
25.What sways is
26.The capricious, daily-changing hands of the clock27.
28.Though I pledge tomorrow to the flowing clouds,
29.Anxiety of being left behind crosses my mind
30.Every time, I think back on you, your words,
31.And gather tears, my voice hoarse32.
33.I still believe
34.I’ll never forget
35.The eyes you waved with,
36.And the fleeting, blue days we can’t return to37.
38.Encounters and farewells in the departing sky,
39.Painting all the days of youth
40.Someday, we’ll make big flowers bloom for each other,
41.Beautiful flowers, and laugh together again42.
43.Reflecting you in the unchanging sky,
44.If I could fly well, if I could fly high,
45.Spreading my wings, overcoming the autumn wind, grasping my dreams,
46.If we could meet, let’s laugh together
47.If we could meet, let’s laugh together
