***************************************************

Were we fated to meet from the beginning, I wonder?
And that this day would come, was that fate as well?

Hopes that could never come to pass always filled our thoughts,
And we hurt each other, and tortured each other.
Simply saying “Just thinking of you,” we couldn’t even do that.
Clutching at your sleeve as you were leaving, I couldn’t do that either.
I was weak…

Whatever day it is, whatever I’m doing,
It seems I always end up searching for you.
Things I want to tell you keep filling my thoughts,
No less than they did before.
I want to hear you laugh at me again.

Everything feels so colorless without you, no matter where I go.
When I go back to where we first met, somehow, something feels different.

We must have been like two metronomes side by side,
Ticking to the same natural tempo.
But little by little, not realizing it, we fell out of sync.
With each passing moment, we drifted further apart.
And we couldn’t stop it…

From here on, where will we be going?
Will we be able to forget it all and continue living?
Whatever happiness you have found now,
I don’t want you to forget…
Because in me there will always be...

Passing each other by, with our backs toward each other,
We gradually move out of sight.
If we keep on living at the same natural tempo,
Then someday on the other side of the earth...
Might we meet again?

Whatever day it is, whatever I’m doing,
It seems I will always end up loving you.
Things I want to tell you keep filling my thoughts,
No less than they did before.
I want to hear you laugh at me again.

I wish you were here...
