The Reason I Thought I'd Die
The reason I thought I'd die is because the seagull cried on the pier
The past that floats at the mercy of the waves and disappears, fly away embracing it
The reason I thought I'd die is because the apricot blossoms bloomed on my birthday
If I take a nap in the dappled sunlight, I wonder what will happen to the dead insects
The white misty rain, the rusted arch of the fishing port's lighthouse, the bike I abandoned today
In front of the wooden stove at the station, a heart that can't set off on a journey anywhere
Today feels just like yesterday, if I want to change tomorrow, I have to change today
I know, I know, but
The reason I thought I'd die is because my heart became empty
Crying because it's not fulfilled, surely because it longs to be fulfilled
The reason I thought I'd die is because my shoelaces came untied
I'm not good at tying them back, just like my connections with people
The reason I thought I'd die is because the boy was staring at me
I'm kneeling on the bed, saying sorry to the me of that day
The faint light of the computer, the sounds of life from the room upstairs
The sound of the intercom chime, the boy in the birdcage covering his ears
Fighting against invisible enemies in the six-tatami-mat room, Don Quixote
The goal is always something ugly
The reason I thought I'd die is because I was called a cold person
Crying because I want to be loved, surely because I've come to know the warmth of people
The reason I thought I'd die is because you smile beautifully
Thinking only about death is surely because I take living too seriously
The reason I thought I'd die is because I hadn't met you yet
I've come to like the world where people like you are born a little
I have a little hope for the world where people like you live
