But among them, only you, only you are precious to me
Even if I can’t be the perfect weather for you
Would you still love me like this?
Maybe it’s still an imperfect
Love, but it might be

Would you still love me like this?
Maybe it’s still an imperfect
Love, but it might be

Like an old book hiding
I want to create an endless story
Even if I become worn and useless
And you find me
I’ll remain with a deep fragrance
Until it becomes perfect love

🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation
The song beautifully portrays a deep affection that acknowledges its own flaws, viewing love as an ongoing journey rather than a finished piece. It expresses profound gratitude toward a partner who brought sunlight into a once dark world and gave the narrator a reason to smile every day. The narrator promises to remain as a comforting scent, hoping that this imperfect love will eventually grow into a state of absolute completion.
