Maaya Sakamoto Yoru
When I open the window slightly, the tepid wind slips
in
As though it’s laughing at my foolish self
On this desolate evening I absent-mindedly think that
People are things which can endure even agony well
enough
If love is the only thing connecting us
Just the sign of you... Just the scent of you...
I search for your faint touch, your voice, your
unfinished drink
That I was sure you’d left behind
But come up with nothing
Until recently we were in each other’s arms
And I thought we had become united
But like water slipping through my fingers, you vanish
without a trace
There’s no reason to be afraid of becoming fond of
someone
You come across your tempestuousness for the first time
If we love each other thoroughly, we can even become a
tragic legend as we cry
You also see for the first time how unfair you can be
Even though loneliness is the only thing connecting us
Just my emotions... Just my anguish...
I want you to embrace me
I don’t want you to forget me
My feet are caught in the mud with nowhere to go
By living and hurting someone
I’ll get hurt too someday
Though I love you and love you, I can’t love you enough
Until recently we were in each other’s arms
And I thought we had confirmed our love
But like water slipping through my fingers, you vanish
without a trace
I want you to please embrace me
I don’t want you to forget me
My feet are caught in the mud with nowhere to go
By living and hurting... someone
I’ll get hurt... someday
Though I love you and love you, I can’t love you enough
