“Hey, who am I?”
You smile gently in return.
That moment, I felt I didn’t even need an answer.
Feeling the texture
Of our faintest happinesses, so soft,
A regret we’ll come to realize tomorrow, just one,
Floated up to the sky and disappeared.
Our transparent hearts
Will learn of love,
Then eventually learn of loneliness.
We’re connected to one another by our partings.
Ahh, I’ll return to the place where you await.
I love it so much it brings me to tears…
Every time I hear you say, “Welcome home”.
“Ahh, it smells so sweet.”
The whimsical miracles that gather beside you
Still manage to escape my sight today.
The petals of flowers dance through the air
Having died the moment they reached full bloom.
But I want to keep on smiling—
I’ve decided that this feeling is true love!
Trying to face the reality
That our life force is crumbling apart,
I end up seeking immortality.
Every new dream I take on is filled with desire…
Ahh, I hate the thought of a world without you in it—
It makes me shake just thinking about it!
So I’ll protect it with my own two hands.
The sunset carries away this day
As it returns to the western sky.
By the time it’s stained in red,
It will seem like it’s melting away.
That always scares me…
Our transparent hearts
Will learn of love,
Then eventually learn of loneliness.
We’re connected to one another by our partings.
Ahh, I’ll return to the place where you await.
I love it so much it brings me to tears…
Every time I hear you say, “Welcome home”.
