Distance
On a night like this, what are you thinking about?
By the way, I just dropped off a girl from my class
I’m coming back from seeing her home, you know?
I think she might have a crush on me, for real.
P.S.… P.S.
Oh, thanks for your hard work, by the way.
Your smile is like a scene from a MORO show.
So if you get another chance, be careful, alright?
Oh, and by the way, I got rejected today.
It feels like we’re getting closer despite the distance.
This distance we can’t see,
Let’s embrace this stone that won’t disappear,
And keep pushing through together.
Even when I laugh, there’s a hint of sadness,
And when I’m mad, there’s a touch of longing,
You’re always somewhere in my heart.
Today I went out without my ring,
Forgot my wallet, and I’m late for work,
It rained, and it was a total mess,
What a dreadful day, huh?
But still, it’s you, you, you who
Teaches me the value of this "distance."
Because I can feel this distance infinitely.
It’s frustrating, but this feeling of loving you
Is the greatest proof of all.
I can’t see what you see,
Even on days like that,
I’m searching for things only I can show you.
This distance we both hate
Has somehow nurtured our feelings,
Making them grow round and strong.
Oh, days that cling to what’s visible,
I’m saved by you, who’s invisible,
You can laugh and say whatever you want.
If being next to you makes this preciousness
Fade away, then I’d rather have just this distance
And the three of us: you, me, and this distance.
This distance we swear by,
The stone that won’t disappear,
Always today, tomorrow, and the day after.
For now, I’m like that Altair star,
You could say you’re like Vega.
Let’s meet up by crossing the river,
And I’ll come to see you.
