Hatsukoi

The early rain is a shade of green
It made me feel so lonely this afternoon
Falling in love, feeling so blue
I was warming up feelings that just wouldn’t reach you
Can’t say I love you, it’s my first love
Like a pendulum, my heart swings
You were running through the schoolyard after class
And I was always searching for you in the distance
It’s a shallow dream, so it won’t leave my heart

The evening glow is a apricot hue
On my way home, I whistle alone
Can’t even call out your name
Staring at this heart that feels trapped
Can’t say I love you, it’s my first love
Like a pendulum, my heart swings
As the petals dance in the wind, stirring the pond
I tried to write about love
I was trembling back then
It’s a shallow dream, so it won’t leave my heart
