As we join hands in front of the station, I hear the usual bustling of people, but feel an unfamiliar wind.
I had planned to see you off with a smile, but I could only watch you with a strained expression.
In the season you started to become an adult,
I was trying to keep a sad song from overtaking me.
I knew there was something I wanted to tell you in the end,
As I searched for the words that could replace, “Goodbye”.
I had begun to think that it was my role to lead you by the hand,
But now I understand… with us as we are,
The days we’ve built up together will be the guide.
As the time you spent becoming an adult piled up,
I was beginning to change as well.
But as long as this song remains where we’re headed,
The two of us will always be connected.
The sound of a bell comes out of nowhere;
I panic, our hands let go, and you begin to walk away.
I call out and wrap my arms around you,
“No matter where you go, I’ll protect you with this voice”!
Ever since you appeared before me,
Everything started to look different.
My mornings, light, tears, even a singing voice,
Were given a radiance by you.
I put my uncontrollable feelings into song,
And send them to the far off city you reside in.
If that song still manages to sound the same,
We can be connected no matter where we are.
