Hikari No Hahen

Fragments of Light
Beads of different shapes and colors
Were shining on the table
Each illuminating the other
Radiating in various colors
Even if days break or chip a little
Even those fragments were shining
While leaning on each other
Sometimes pushing away
Connecting mismatched pieces
The sadness of the past
The memories of tears shed
Coloring your smile with light
Even when on the verge of losing to loneliness
I pretended to be fine and smiled
To not burden someone else
With my own baggage
I noticed your strength
I've always been looking at your profile
The orange sky
Shining in the sunlight
Uneven silhouettes swaying
Wanting to convey something
But unable to say anything
The flowing time and fading light
The uneven pieces
Sometimes rubbing against each other
Like a kaleidoscope held up to the light
Even if we can't understand each other
Even if tears flow
The scenery that can't be achieved alone
The times we laughed together
The times we clashed
Are my precious treasures
What can be made
With the beads collected
The unfading fragments of light
The orange sky
Shining in the sunlight
Uneven silhouettes swaying
Wanting to convey something
But unable to say anything
The flowing time and fading light
While leaning on each other
Sometimes pushing away
Connecting mismatched pieces
The sadness of the past
The memories of tears shed
Coloring your smile with light
