music / Yuki Kajiura

“goodbye” “thank you” as loud as my voice will go
wanting to express something more than sadness
to your back as you walk away
in time for the warmth and the pain

i thought it would go on like this forever
i was imagining our future
the lights that called for each other
are still so hot in my chest

we met in the middle of a burning journey
we took each others hands and let go again, all for the future
whenever a dream comes true, i’m sure to think of you
i cried, praying to become stronger – determination is your parting gift

prisoner to nostalgic feelings
crying and shouting at the cruel world
they multiply as i get older
i don’t want to lose a single one

if i were swallowed up into sadness,
i wouldn’t be able to feel the pain
but i swore i’d defend your words,
your wish, to the very end

it crumbles with a sound and falls
this singular,
irreplaceable world

i reach out and grab a bouquet of intense light
it shimmers and vanishes, all for the future
i’ll go beyond the joy and promises entrusted to me
walk without looking,
screaming straight ahead,
so light a flame in my heart
into the distant future…
