In a few years later, after today
After all the time has gone by
Would each of us have become our own person
and be living well
After I’m done longing for you
for as much as I can and have been hurt enough
At that time, I need to let go of your hand
What was that thing that made us meet
And that thing became the reason why we separated
While wiping my wet eyes and my memories that have piled dust
I’m searching for something I can blame myself with
Everything will find its place
I act like I’m cool with it
And everyone goes along with it
I talk about the uselessness of love
But in other people’s eyes I’m just a pitiful guy
This kind of thing is commonly called
Freedom or liberation
That’s wrong, because imprisonment
Begins after the parting
It’s never something that you can just
Dust off and get up from
Because there’s no doubt that this place existed
In a few years later, after today
After all the time has gone by
Would each of us have become our own person
and be living well
After I’m done longing for you
for as much as I can and have been hurt enough
At that time, I need to let go of your hand
The memories are just as they were, without aging
Lazy me, I haven’t sorted out my feelings
Living while looking backwards
Could there be something as terrifying as tomorrow
It would be better if it was hatred or resentment
I thought it was just a sudden rain shower
I thought it was feelings that would dry after being wet for just a moment
But I, who isn’t even timid
Whenever I try to grab you to take you out
I just keep putting you inside
My heart that became a mess because I was just laying out excuses
While trying to pull it together, the night had gone by
You, who said that you never wanted to become a burden
Left after leaving a separation like this
In a few years later, after today
After all the time has gone by
Would each of us have become our own person
and be living well
After I’m done longing for you
for as much as I can and have been hurt enough
At that time, I need to let go of your hand
No longer can the relationship between you and I
be called ‘us’
Just a few days
If I was given just a few days
I want to hold you tightly and tell you
It’s because I’m crazy
I might look like I’m fine
But this is me holding it all in
How could the most precious part of me be taken away
Without a drop of blood
I, who was all yours
Am now a beggar
You, who is brazenly living and breathing inside me
What can I do to bury you in my heart
In a few years later, after today
After all the time has gone by
When each of us have become our own person
Then we will know
Even though I long for you as much as I can
We were unforgettable
