1.Walking down the usual streets of the town where I was born and raised,
2.From the shopping district to the main road, it’s the same old routine that I’ve grown tired of.3.
4.Ever since I met you, something changed—
5.Why does the walk to the station now feel so much shorter?6.
7.Is it because my heart has learned what the wind feels like?
8.I used to live like clockwork,
9.Repeating yesterday, today, and tomorrow,
10.But now, time feels too precious to waste.11.
12.They say nothing can move faster than light—
13.But what does that even mean?
14.Just explaining the logic doesn’t make me understand.
15.All I know is that I want to see you right now.
16.Even if I jump onto the Inokashira Line,
17.I refuse to believe in the theory of relativity.18.
19.I tried rushing to the place where we agreed to meet,
20.But there’s no way to outrun the clock on my phone.21.
22.They say people can’t change the speed of love,
23.And someday, that rule will become clear to me.24.
25.Only the physical distance stands in the way,
26.But how can I possibly convey my feelings to you?
27.If only the space-time here and now could suddenly twist and bend.28.
29.If only I could move faster than light…
30.Even if I finally meet you, is the one before me the you from eight minutes ago?31.
32.The sunlight that reaches you is the past as seen from Earth.
33.How many billions of light-years does love take to arrive?
34.Einstein must be wrong, absolutely.35.
36.I’m not trying to pretend to know what I’m talking about,
37.But surpassing the speed of light—
38.I LOVE YOU
39.I LOVE YOU
40.I LOVE YOU41.
42.They say nothing can move faster than light—
43.But what does that even mean?
44.Just explaining the logic doesn’t make me understand.
45.All I know is that I want to see you right now.
46.Even if I jump onto the Inokashira Line,
47.I refuse to believe in the theory of relativity.
