1.The wind blows softly as drips of water glisten;
2.The same old streets looked somehow different.3.
4.But the fact I can find this scenery so beautiful,
5.Isn’t just because of the lighting,
6.But because you’re smiling here beside me.7.
8.Our distance has shrunk 1%, but things still feel so uncertain.
9.Can I finally release these feelings that I’ve kept sealed away in my pocket?
10.From atop a footbridge, I look past you to catch a view of this city, just after the rain:
11.I saw us reflected there. Oh, time — please don’t stop now!12.
13.I forgot to close the door, so my true feelings showed their face;
14.They were waiting all this time for you to knock.15.
16.The sweat from my cup is bleeding into the coaster below.
17.Your feelings, in this moment,
18.Come flowing into me.19.
20.I feel the warmth transferred from your hand in mine — those warm fingertips.
21.I want to be wrapped in this seemingly transparent tenderness more and more!
22.I’m too clumsy… I couldn’t manage to express it, but that’s okay,
23.‘Cause I was finally able to realize this uncontrollable feeling.24.
25.If you’ll eventually have to let it go, why bother keeping it in the first place? That’s what I had always thought…
26.But it’s not like my heart’s made of glass… and I just can’t hold back any longer!
27.The answer was right before my very eyes!28.
29.The true lie I had told myself gently melts away.
30.I wonder why… even if I put a lid on it, it keeps flowing forth:
31.This heart.32.
33.I can’t wait any longer — they’re gonna spill out! My feelings form a whirlpool.
34.But even if their myriad colors mix, they’ll remain transparent… until someday—
35.When you ask me, “Where can our hearts be found?”
36.I wouldn’t have been able to answer before…
37.But now, I’m sure I’d say, “Within our tears.”
