1.Another year, and this season is here again.
2.Where is the savior now?
3.On this holy night, if miracles can happen,
4.I want a “yes” from you.5.
6.Even cake and chicken
7.can’t take center stage today.
8.Maybe one or two superpowers
9.will awaken in me.
10.Ah, but that’s irrelevant, isn’t it?11.
12.Suddenly dressing up,
13.pretending that this ordinary day is special—
14.it all feels meaningless
15.if you’re not here.16.
17.Everyone seems so happy,
18.passing by on Christmas Eve.
19.Right now, where are you?
20.And who are you smiling with?21.
22.Before my feelings melt and disappear,
23.I know I need to tell you,
24.but they just keep piling up inside me.25.
26.Someone once said
27.there are as many encounters as stars in the sky.
28.But this isn’t like a pebble;
29.there’s only one sun that lights up the moon.30.
31.The words that spilled out on a whim,
32.and every little move you make—
33.I’ve been swept up in them.
34.I feel so foolish.35.
36.Everyone seems so happy,
37.taking pictures around the Christmas tree.
38.Right now, where are you?
39.And who are you gazing at it with?40.
41.I don’t even have a wish to make,
42.but maybe I’ll try asking Santa.
43.No, I’m not a child anymore.44.
45.If this were a romance movie,
46.I’d be the one stepping aside,
47.crying in the shadows.
48.If only I could blame it on “the snow,”
49.maybe I’d have been a bit bolder.50.
51.Horoscopes that appeal to everyone,
52.every charm or spell I can think of—
53.none of them seem like they’ll work at all.54.
55.Missing the last train home,
56.bumping into you, just the two of us—
57.I wonder if something like that might happen.
58.No, it couldn’t, could it?59.
60.Everyone seems so happy,
61.passing by on Christmas Eve.
62.Right now, where are you?
63.And who are you smiling with?64.
65.Before my feelings melt and disappear,
66.I know
67.I need to tell you,
68.but they just keep piling up inside me.
