Omoinaki

a sleepy, sweet voice
sounds of the futon being pulled back
little things bring all the happiness
still not asleep, it’s tough, I can’t help but feel that way
those nights were so precious and happy

I said I miss you, trying to sound lonely
but I thought we’d always be together

hearing your breath
makes me feel so tender
whispering quietly so I don’t wake you up at night
"don’t cry, don’t cry"
I say it but it doesn’t mean anything
still can’t sleep, thinking of you
I keep you in my heart, never forgetting

hey, it’s just your sound
that disappeared, and it’s so lonely
being alone hasn’t changed
again I can’t sleep, checking my phone at 2 AM
how long will this night go on

even if I think about missing you, it doesn’t reach you
I’m still here waiting for you

hearing your breath
makes me feel so tender
whispering quietly so I don’t wake you up at night
"don’t cry, don’t cry"
I say it but it doesn’t mean anything
still can’t sleep, thinking of you
I keep you in my heart, never forgetting

the feelings I have for you still linger, the pain remains
thinking of you makes me cry, I can’t sleep at night
someday, I’ll stop crying
so I can return to life before I met you
so I can sleep well
but for now, not yet.
