English
At this point, I can still make it.
I should have stepped back
Before I misunderstood more.
Before I knew it,
The needles of words that I used to staple you shut
Pierced my own chest, and it hurt?
It’s your fault.
Don’t come
To me when I’m like this, like this.
Don’t look
That, that far.
Don’t say it
With that kind, that kind of smile
To anyone at all.
Promise for eternity,
Endless like this sky
That continues to everywhere:
If I jump into your heart
That’s like that rough but kind ocean,
Catch me.
Now, to you alone,
I’ll convey these thoughts that can’t be weighed.
The future hasn’t been determined.
That was my hope,
But when and why did that change into unease?
I tried calling to mind
Someone I could say this sort of thing to at this sort of time.
He was right in front of me? After all,
It’s only you.
Search
For me even when I’m like that, like that.
Look inside me
This, this far.
Don’t leave
With that kind, that kind of smile
At any time.
Promise for eternity,
Endless like this sky
That continues to everywhere:
If I jump into your heart
That’s like that rough but kind ocean,
Catch me.
Now, to you alone,
I’ll convey these thoughts that can’t be weighed.
As we faced each other and lay down,
The constellation that I traced out
In the starry sky we looked up at
Was a story for just the two of us?
Grant my wish,
Bright shooting star.
I tried reaching across
The distance that was too frustrating.
Today, this is my greatest effort.
This is our unsure, trivial
Daily life,
But I hope to laugh with you again tomorrow.
Promise for eternity,
Endless like this sky
That continues to everywhere:
If I jump into your heart
That’s like that rough but kind ocean,
Catch me.
Now, to you alone,
I’ll convey these thoughts that can’t be weighed.
