Distant Thing

I'm waiting without expectation

With no clue of your arrival

Will you come my way

Or have the will to just passing by

I know you're not forever

With imperfections and charms

Which built you

Become YOU 

I think I like distant things,

I like the stars, the sky, 

I like the moon, 

I like you. 

I find solace in you

In the warmth of your presence

In the depth of your soul

In the way you make me feel whole

あすひらく花の名前を簡潔に未来と呼 べばふくらむ蕾

If you briefly call the name of the flower that will open tomorrow "future," the bud will swell.

凍らねばならぬ運命(さだめ)を分かち あふ如月 われとわれのみづうみ

It is February when I and the lake share the fate of having to freeze.

感情のまぶたにそっとゆびをおく救 われるのはいつも私だ

I gently place my finger on the eyelid of emotion. It is always me who is saved.
