In the darkness at the top of the hill
They say the stars look beautiful there
The way you’d just lie right down on the ground—
Ah, I thought, that’s so like you.
We lost track of time, completely absorbed
The traffic light was blinking
In the season when the air turned chilly
We held hands for the very first time
Our story together.
Sharing a single umbrella
Riding the swings and gazing at the stars
And that routine where you’d always run
To press the button at the pedestrian crossing.
Lying on our backs, looking at the lake
Saying it felt like we were floating in mid-air
You, so excited and playful
And me, right beside you, getting even more excited…
It felt like
We could really fly
Floating on air, in a dreamlike state
Right there beside you.
I wanted to make every view you saw
My own, too
Ah, I just can’t seem to forget you.
That road we used to walk every day
It seems the traffic light is being taken down
And it seems that bittersweet feeling
Of remembering it all will fade away someday, too.
Come to think of it, on a cold, snowy day
In that empty park at Tawayama
Shivering bodies, laughing together in the dark just like always
Under the streetlamp.
You, reflected in my eyes
Looked a little lonelier than usual
Or so it seemed.
Now, looking back
Remembering it all…
Regret won’t solve a thing
The reason I can’t forget
The reason I can’t accept it
Is because I’m not strong enough yet to turn you into just a memory.
I wanted to show you
Every view that I saw, too
A sip of warm cocoa.
“Until the day we meet again”—
There wasn’t a trace of a lie in your smiling face
See you later
Somewhere far away
Someday.
