1.In this world dancing a waltz, please—don’t let go of my hand
2.Don’t dodge the sorrowful tenderness that comes and goes, again and again3.
4.Even if our secrets someday become something ordinary
5.Can we still hold on to hope?6.
7.Hey—
8.If I don’t pretend to be strong, I’ll fall apart and vanish
9.This wish I can’t even call a spell—
10.“Letting go would be easier,”
11.Maybe that’s true
12.But even so, our waltz traces
13.An endless spiral14.
15.Snow like bubbles, a moon of silver foil—
16.With a nonsensical equation
17.Someone measures me as a witch
18.Then I suppose you must be the demon king19.
20.Eventually, our pain began to transform into pride
21.With blackened fingertips, choking—
22.We dance the waltz23.
24.Even if loneliness threatens to tear our hearts apart
25.Even if we push that hand away and end up alone
26.Even if hope is twisted into anguish
27.Can we still hold on to it, I wonder?
28.Hey—29.
30.If I don’t pretend to be strong
31.I’ll fall apart and vanish
32.This wish I can’t even call a spell—
33.“Letting go would be easier,”
34.Maybe that’s true
35.But even so, our waltz traces an endless spiral36.
37.We have
38.Shaken off our fears
39.And the curtain has risen—
40.The past still exists alongside the present
41.“Forget it and life gets easier,”
42.Even if that’s true
43.We’ll still keep tracing an endless spiral44.
45.Our waltz
