1.At our usual place again this year
2.The flowers you love have bloomed
3.Side by side, we listened closely—
4.Even the insects have begun to sing5.
6.You always leaned in
7.Picking up even my smallest voice
8.Though the address remains the same
9.Where do my fading words go?10.
11.Just a simple reply is enough—let me hear you
12.I want to see your gentle nod and smiling face
13.No matter what I say, without you
14.They’re nothing but murmurs to myself15.
16.If only I had noticed the feelings you hid that day
17.Would we still be in our world of two?18.
19.Even though your smile, my cure-all, is gone
20.Life goes on, breath by breath
21.The wounds will never fully heal
22.But I’ll let memories scab over23.
24.I spent my days searching for missing footsteps
25.But even as time passes
26.This nocturnal crybaby in me
27.Still hasn’t learned to be tamed28.
29.Knowing you for the first time
30.I finally became myself
31.Yet even these feelings so dear
32.I never managed to say them while looking in your eyes33.
34.Even now, in this world without answers
35.I’m searching for words
36.That could have stayed by your side that day37.
38.I once believed tomorrow would be the same for everyone
39.That it would come equally, without fail
40.But you, so honest and unable to lie
41.Waved and said, “See you again,”
42.And I still hold on to that43.
44.Just a simple reply is enough—let me hear you
45.I want to see your gentle nod and smiling face
46.No matter what I say, without you
47.They’re nothing but murmurs to myself48.
49.I won’t say “goodbye”—I’ll keep waiting
50.Even if it hurts, because one day
51.In our world of two, I just want to look into your eyes
52.And say, “Welcome home.”
