The pieces of the dazzling sun

shook inside the puddle of water.

The wind played a joke

on your face as you peered into it.



The bus was on time but

I missed it on purpose and walked instead.

The street that I see everyday

seemed a little different.



Suddenly my name was called out

and when I looked up at the bridge above me

I could see that smile I've gotten so used to.

I curtly raised my hand in response

and as we walked home together

our pointless conversation

suddenly swelled up inside of me.



The melody of the changing seasons

is gently streaming out from the street corners

I thought with all my strength

"If only time would stop here."

Let's aim for the unknown future

without letting go of our joined hands.

The most important thing is

for us an endless Freedom.



To the message I received suddenly

I attached a title and responded.

Re: You have an unexpected visitor now, don't you?



The breeze that got a little chilly

shook your bangs.

Stepping on your long shadow

you walked.



While I leaned against the wall

that was still a bit warm and looked up to the sky

this day has gone by fast... I thought.

"There's been no reply to my mail yet."

"Tomorrow'll surely be hot too."

Such an ordinary converstion just might

be absolutely perfect right now.



The harmony of the changing seasons

gently grazed right by my ear.

I thought of you

and hoped that this song would reach you.

Aim for the unknown world

and for the strength of believing in yourself.

The most important thing is

for us an endless Freedom.



"Let's say ten years passed

and we met suddenly in the town...

...you probably won't have changed at all."

Because you said that with such a serious expression

I couldn't help but burst out laughing but

somehow, just a little, that helped warm my heart.



The rhythm of the changing seasons

is surely what my heart is dancing to.

I thought with all my strength

"If only time would stop here."

The harmony of the changing seasons

gently grazed right by my ear.

I thought of you

and hoped that this song would reach you.

Somewhere in this nightfallen city

every path is being walked upon.

The future that we're all aiming for

is an endless Freedom.
