アイコトバ (Aikotoba) – Words of love / Password / Words of sorrow
——
The countless glittering stars
Hold a meaning, every single one
That night when I wished for your love
Seems so far away
In a corner of the room, a little wider now
I embraced your faded vestiges alone
Uncontrollably overflowing
These painful, gentle words of love
“I love you” and “stay with me”
Were, in fact, lies
If we can’t go back, if it won’t come true
Then at least let me forget everything
Let me be free, be empty
Those days when I was fulfilled seem like lies
We often walked here, you pulling on my hand
Along this row of trees, on the way home
Without you here, staying half a pace ahead of me
It still feels so unfamiliar
Slightly elongated, the silhouette of us
Still remains etched into my mind now
I’m alone, not searching, yet
The passwords are nestled in my memory
“Goodnight” and “good morning”
Seemed so normal
Even if we can’t go back, even if it won’t come true
I’ll remember until I grow tired of it
When the wound in my heart scabs over
Will I forget you? I don’t really want to
Seemingly strong, seemingly gentle
Words of sorrow filled with tears
“I hate you” and “goodbye”
Were, in fact, lies
Knowing happiness, knowing sorrow
Even so, I’m glad I met you
“I miss you” surely, before I realized it
Turned into “I love you”, and it’s your fault
Thank you for giving me many firsts
