SHIAWASE

Next to me, you’re sleeping, your mouth opens wide, and then you smile.
What kind of dream are you having? I’m curious... If only I could come out and join you.
Next to me, holding your hand, your left hand was a bit sweaty,
but my right hand felt just as warm.

When I looked up, my throat was tight, so I forgot about the sweet candy,
my only precious right to kiss you without thinking.

As we drift through this story, there are times we cry just to keep living.
If that makes me stronger, then that’s the greatest happiness there is.
As we spin around somewhere, even if we end up apart,
if I can become a part of you, then a day will come when I can feel happy.

Have you known all along? My strong points, my weak points,
you quietly watched me under the same blue sky.

Loved and loved too much, precious moments, and then I made a face.
Tears fell from a small star running to the song of your breath.
After my words of love slipped off my lips,
I hope they stay in your heart with meaning.

With this finger, I’ll weave together my breath and feelings, sending them to you, echoing.
Thoughts connecting to a new tomorrow, "I loved you so much today too."

As we drift through this story, if you’re here with me,
I’m not afraid to stand still, facing forward without regrets.
As we spin around somewhere, even if a quiet end comes,
if you smile at the end, then that’s a day I can feel happy.

Next to me, you’re sleeping, your mouth opens wide, and then you smile.
This is happiness, my happiness, as I go on, let’s sleep.
