1.The road feels lonelier after waving goodbye
2.Because the farther your back fades into the distance
3.The more I return to a world where I’m alone again4.
5.The truth is, I’m weak, and it’s pathetic
6.So I can’t say it out loud—but maybe
7.You’ve known that about me for a long time8.
9.I watched the streetlights flicker on and off
10.Under their uncertain glow
11.My right hand, cold and lost with nowhere to go
12.Was gently held by yours—it was so warm13.
14.I wonder if, ten years from now, I’ll be able to smile
15.For all the tears I’ve shed until today
16.For the weaknesses I couldn’t erase, and the strength you gave me
17.I’ll hold them close, deep in my heart18.
19.“For me, it’s the same,” you said for the first time
20.Letting slip all your regrets and pain
21.They reached my shoulder, carried by a quiet tremor, and I finally understood22.
23.The strangers passing by in the city
24.And even you, right here beside me—
25.Maybe we’re all carrying the struggles and scars
26.We’ve overcome, holding them in both hands as we go on living27.
28.With our rounded backs side by side beneath the night sky
29.I trace a tiny dream with my finger
30.As my hand grows warmer, I squeeze yours in return
31.And once more, I make a small wish32.
33.Stumbling
34.Pausing
35.But slowly moving forward36.
37.Let’s smile as we remember
38.The night sky we looked up at here ten years ago39.
40.“If I had a time machine, I’d go back and tell you,”
41.I say, laughing with you again in this same place
42.And I’ll hold this feeling close, deep in my heart
