青のすみか (Where Our Blue Is)
Tatsuya Kitani
Ao No Sumika
In the endless blue season, there is nothing blocking our four lined-up eyes, the asphalt reflecting the cicadas' rain, making the silence that is you unheard
These days fade away Even though I know your scent, which is different from mine, I left it behind at the bottom of eternity
Even now, blue lives on Even now, blue lives on All my prayers and words came close, but they didn't reach me It was like a quiet love In the midst of a summer-like color running down my cheeks The words to curse you are still stuck in my throat
We'll meet again, a voiceless voice says
In the afternoon, in the season of landslides, I recall our portraits when we were still nobody. Since that day when we should have been able to share everything, the curse of being different from you has been growing bit by bit.
I regret that I overlooked the sadness behind your smile
Saying goodbye to you, who blooms and fades like a flower in vain
Even now, blue lives on Even now, blue lives on All my prayers and words came close, but they didn't reach me It was like a quiet love In the midst of a summer-like color running down my cheeks The words to curse you are still stuck in my throat
We'll meet again, a voiceless voice says
Like the star particles of an infinitely expanding galaxy, they spilled through the gaps between my fingers
