“Please meet me again”
I just couldn’t say that one phrase
Because I felt that it might become a burden for you…
Walking on the gentle slope at evening
The sunshine somehow felt sorrowful
My first romance
When even locking gazes felt awkward
Time, with hastened steps
Passed us by in a flash
“Please meet me again”
My heart whispered quietly
As I followed diagonally behind your back
We’ve made memories, but
There is so much I can’t tell you
If only we could speak just a little closer
We might have been happy…
The wind of loneliness swayed the trees
As the evening cicadas chirped with regret
The shadow I admired
Was walking right beside me, yet
The distance between us didn’t shrink
Romance’s pace is so frustrating
“Please meet me again”
I want to be courageous and say it
I tried to call out to you again and again, but
I could already see your house
You smiled as you stopped
“See you”, you said to me
And I only nodded in silence
“When will we meet again?”
I heard your voice asking
You’re shouting at me from across the road
Yes, I had given up once
This second chance made me so happy
“Anytime”, I replied with a smile
And you showed me a peace sign
