1.Letting my leaden head sink under gravity
2.I sat there, wilted like a withered flower
3.Without a hint of displeasure, you pulled me close
4.And I could faintly hear your heartbeat echoing
5.I wanted to keep listening to that sound—
6.That’s what I felt7.
8.It’s okay now, it’s alright
9.I’ll gently let go of your hand
10.It’s okay now, it’s alright
11.So please, gently let go of mine
12.Because your kindness
13.Kept me alive, through and through—
14.I’ll never forget that15.
16.Our shadows overlapped under the streetlights
17.With no
18.Unnecessary games between us
19.At times, you forgave me—
20.So close it almost hurt21.
22.So it’s okay now, it’s alright
23.I’ll gently let go of your hand
24.It’s okay now, it’s alright
25.So please, gently let go of mine
26.Because your kindness
27.Kept me alive, through and through—
28.I’ll never forget that29.
30.“I’ll never get hurt.”
31.That lonely, stubborn lie
32.Peered through for just a moment
33.And I softly brushed your hair aside
34.Even those falling tears seemed precious to me—
35.That’s something I only just realized
36.It hurts…37.
38.Dear you—39.
40.It’s okay now, it’s alright
41.I’ll gently let go of your hand
42.It’s okay now, it’s alright
43.So please, gently let go of mine
44.Because your kindness
45.Kept me alive, through and through—
46.I’ll never forget that47.
48.It’s okay now, it’s alright
49.When I finally let go
50.Please, just once—
51.Smile for me, even if awkwardly
