It was just another ordinary day as always.
You suddenly stood up and said,
“Let’s go look at the stars tonight.”
“Wow, you actually say something nice once in a while,”
everyone joked, and we all laughed.
We walked down the unlit road,
getting excited like a bunch of fools,
so we wouldn’t be crushed
by the loneliness and anxiety we carried inside.
Looking up from the pitch-black world,
the night sky looked as though stars were raining down.
Since when was it
that I found myself chasing after you?
Please, I beg you,
don’t be surprised—just listen
to these feelings of mine.
“That’s Deneb, Altair, and Vega,”
you said, pointing at the Summer Triangle.
I memorized them and looked up at the sky.
At last I found Princess Orihime,
but where could Hikoboshi be?
Like this, he’s all alone.
You, happily enjoying yourself right beside me—
I couldn’t say a single word.
The truth is, all along,
somewhere deep down I understood.
Even if they were discovered,
my feelings would never reach you.
No, don’t cry,
I kept telling myself.
I acted tough because I was a coward,
pretending I wasn’t interested.
But
the pain stabbing my heart kept growing.
Ah, I see…
So this is what it means
to fall in love.
What do you want?
Go ahead and say it,
a voice inside my heart whispers.
I want to be by your side.
The truth is cruel.
I didn’t say it.
I couldn’t say it.
There’s no going back ever again.
That summer day,
those sparkling stars—
I can still remember them even now.
Your smiling face,
your angry face—
I loved them all.
It’s strange, isn’t it?
Even though I knew,
it’s a secret
known only to me,
unknown to you.
Beyond the night,
the you from those distant memories
points with your finger,
your voice as innocent as ever.
