Yubiwa the Ring

As my tears keep overflowing,
I can't see your last smile through the blur.
Don't go, please don't go... Stay here.
Light bursts through the sky.

Even this insignificant me
loved you more than anyone, with all my soul.
Thank you for all of
the precious feelings
you've given to me.

"At that time, I just...
watched for ages as the vapor trail vanished."

Please don't forget
You're not alone.
Even if we're apart, we can still carry on hand-in-hand.

With my first love, I first realized
that there could be such sorrow.

Even if something fades away, something will
live once again.
When you gave me a smile as we parted, it was
your message for me
to truly live with all my heart.

Someday surely we'll meet again
and be together.
No matter how far, we'll stare into each other's eyes
Bet all our hopes and dreams.

Let's promise each other
that we'll hold on to the intensity we felt
that day,
and live the future that blooms
in tomorrow.

Yakusoku wa Iranai (I Don't Need Promises)

Say, when they're in love,
does everyone get this lonely?
Say, do they embrace the pain
that's even deeper than the darkness?

It's all been so that we
can shine,
Surely

I... I love you.
I'm gazing at you with my heart.
I... I believe in you.
even on the coldest night.

Say, even if they're in love,
could the end someday come for them, too?
Say, could a feeling that's even
clearer than the blue sky end up being abandoned?

The season-changing winds
Running along the streets
Forever

I... I love you.
I'm gazing at you with my heart.
I... I believe in you.
even on the coldest night.

Even if I lose tomorrow,
and even if I lose you too,
I want to shine,
smiling as best as I can.

I call out to you now with my tears.
I don't need promises or such things,
because of the precious
strength that you've given me.

I call out to you now with my eyes.
I don't need promises or such things.
I reach out to you now with my eyes,
even on the coldest night.
