The sound of sudden rain
From the crying clouds

Why?
I should have gotten used to
Days without you

The demon sinking my heart
Has reared its head like this
Is it my punishment for not
Leaving it all behind?

In that abyss below the blue sky
You’re breathing with someone else
Are you happy?
Is my loneliness
Weighing you down?

While crying
I smiled and smiled as I walked on
Together with the gentle rainshower
I wanted to disappear
Like the white, blurred scenery
Will this rain stop
If I go far far away from you?
In the falling rain, I still
Wait for you

Two matching cups
Chopsticks in your favorite colour
None of them
Have faded in colour
As they continue to slumber

On the veranda where I leave the trash
Your wreckage sways
This feeling of having nowhere to go
If only I could have thrown them away

While crying
I smiled and smiled as I walked on
Searching for the rainbow blooming in the sun
I wanted to go
To a place where you can’t follow
Running in the rain, can you hear
The sound of running footsteps?
I hesitate on the road home
Which I can’t take anymore

While crying
I smiled and smiled as I walked on
Together with the gentle rainshower
I wanted to disappear
Like the white, blurred scenery
Will this rain stop
If I go far far away from you?
In the falling rain, I still
Wait for you

Wait for you
