1.After the pale pink petals fell
2.The verdant hills and my heart’s colors stirred
3.A creaking bench, the clink of a glass bottle
4.A bus stop at 2 p.m5.
6.The flowing ramune reflected light
7.And in the marble, a translucent world—
8.It mirrored an upside-down “if…” and then vanished9.
10.Visions of the future, a dazzling flash—eyes tightly shut
11.As the bus passed and faded away12.
13.Petals scatter, melting into the sky
14.Crying, calling out, like birds do
15.A sudden gust of wind—
16.I looked up at the moon, carrying summer’s breath17.
18.After God shed tears
19.The scent of rain on asphalt filled the air
20.My steps bounced slightly
21.With no destination, at 2 a.m22.
23.Walking the night road through a sea of stars
24.The future on the back of my eyelids
25.Glistened, transforming into a dreamed-up “if…”26.
27.With rain, stars, clouds, and moon—hand in hand
28.Let’s chase after the passing bus29.
30.From the blooming hill, heading east
31.Chasing birds, then turning west
32.Leaving it to the wind, guided by the moon… ah33.
34.After the cicadas’ downpour ceased
35.The bell crickets sang dreams into the night
36.I simply let my thoughts drift
37.As stars fell from the sky, just like rain38.
39.Lying back on the road, I swam in the sky
40.Sunlight piercing from afar pointed to the future
41.Beyond the season where Sirius hides—
42.Come now43.
44.Beyond the entire sky, the first-magnitude star shines
45.My shadow, faintly visible through it
46.I walk on through the heavenly rain, toward the crimson-stained edge of the moon—
47.But I’m not saying goodbye just yet48.
49.“So, see you again.”
