I wonder what it was about the first time we met. I lingered in that moment, cherishing it. The feelings that blossomed then have followed the changing seasons.

Gradually, those feelings continued to grow. In the ever-moving flow of time, my heart was caught up. Each passing moment left a trace of longing, making me rush forward.

I wished for eternity, forever mine. To me, it shone clearly. The many days spent with you are still with me, waiting for the inevitable lonely night to come.

I’ll bring them out again. To me, those days shone like crystal. The pure memories were thrilling, and the awkward days are deeply engraved.

No matter the path, I walked it with you, baby. Any story was fine if you were the one telling it. Those memories don’t fade easily, so they stayed in my heart.

To me, those days were like crystal. Sad, sad, but bright one day. The promises we made together, it might be hard to keep them all.
