The first time when I noticed the sound of ripples
I was still nothing but perplexed then
The spreading wavelets
Still continue now, but…
If I try to remember
Your gestures and your voice one by one
Somehow, mysteriously the calm water surface
Feels it
Now I simply want to be tied to you
It is one but many bonds
I believe that the thread of wishes
That is still invisible exists…
Even if we became separated like those clouds
I'm sure that someday we'd come together
From the same sky, I'll keep searching
For the direction of the wind…
The first time when distance disappeared
I wanted to carefully make my feelings bloom
But if we grew apart, I'd drift
Toward the pain of being unable to meet you
So that I can always remember
Your heartbeats and your body heat quickly
I want you to leave many days
In my chest
Even words that can't be told
Inside the glass cradle
For you who will accept them and
The continuation of my dreams…
Even if I'm enveloped like those stars
By the boundless and distant dark night
I'll keep believing in
The absolute light and your warmth…
The path that waxes and wanes like that moon
Probably isn't tender
Nevertheless, I'm sure that I'll keep loving you
Forever…
