Goodbye
The first kiss tasted like tears. It was like the love in dramas. As if waiting for the right moment, the departure bell rang.
A winter wind brushes my cheek. So I blew on my hands and rubbed them together. The city is lighted by an illumination, as if magically casted. And made the naked trees sparkle.
I just couldn’t say it. My feelings I kept inside. This is what I’ve decided to do. It’s alright, I won’t look back so…
Thank you, goodbye. A bittersweet unrequited love. If I stopped moving now, I might think back to our past, so… Thank you, goodbye. I won’t cry at all. The moment I thought that, Softly, the snow began to fall, so flowingly. When I touched it, it dissolved and disappeared.
As I continue to the station, A couple close by appears happy. “Hey, it’s the first snow of the season!” I wanted to be like that with you. I hoped it was not too late. I had a hand muffler. How could I give it to you? I’m a coward, I’m too scared. Is it okay to let go if it’d only be a memory? I ask myself if it this was true.
Thank you, goodbye. I knew that someday a time like this would come, yet… Thank you, goodbye. My body is trembling. The train will come at any minute. It’s troubling me now. I want us together. I want you so much. My hand is empty. But hey, this is what we call a goodbye, right?
I know I have to go. I know that you are sweet too. Please, let me go. I am happy that we met. I love you.
Thank you, goodbye. I can’t say a single word. Just for a moment, give me the courage to speak. “Hey…” The lips that we about to speak… The distance to you became zero. Can I cry, just for this moment? There is no need for words, just keep holding me tightly.
By this time next year, I wonder what I will be like… What you will be like…
