: notes to self :

aiko || eriashi

I'm sorry for hitting you.
Couldn't help it, I love you too much
and, I'm sorry for putting on the waterworks
I wanted to see your conflicted face

and I watch you walk away from me
the sad fool who finally realized

time goes by, even when I shut my eyes
I can still walk, my journey.
I withstand the season, still in my thoughts
even still I love you.

My heart cries in pain at matter-of-fact kindness
I get choked up by your glorious hopes.

Listen, even as I am,
from now on I'll keep only these feelings which never change.

time goes by, even when I shut my eyes
I can still walk, my journey
even if I go far away, even if we're apart
I think only of you.

If I find you five years down the road,
I'll straighten my back and call to you.
I haven't forgotten, not even once
the nape of your neck, a little longer than it was then,
and your awkward smile.
