Now I understand the meaning of days without you,
I cast everything aside and started running.
Beneath the stars, I still hold back my true feelings—
Are you smiling only for someone else’s sake? The town where you were born—on the pedestrian overpass facing the headwind,
A nostalgic song gives me a push from behind.
I have to go.
This invisible emotion is making my heart burn so fiercely,
Filling it up until it feels like it might shatter.
Through rainy days and windy days, I never forgot
That smile of yours, wet with tears—
Something more precious than anything, something I cannot lose.
Once, we looked at two stars in the night sky,
Gave them names, and made a pinky promise.
You gazed intently, searching for a shooting star,
Praying all the while for my wish to come true.
Stars shine in the night
For the sake of those who deserve to find happiness.
I want to see you.
If you are all alone right now beneath this vast, dark sky,
With nothing at all to wrap you in warmth…
Then I will go to see you.
I won’t look away ever again—not from the joy or the pain;
I want to hold you close and see every expression you wear.
I’ve realized what happiness truly is:
It’s two becoming one, not two separate things;
A wish granted only to those who share everything together.
I have to go.
Before the cherry blossom petals scatter into the night,
Before that heart of yours—too kind for its own good—shuts itself away.
I want to see you—I want to see you—I want to see you right now.
If you are all alone right now,
With nothing at all to light your way…
Then I will go to see you.
If the wish I made on that shooting star is to come true now,
Then a new future awaits the two of us…
…I have to go.
