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…
