we touched an angel

Hey, if we name and preserve
Fragments of our memories,
Our “treasure” will be perfect.

Yes, we spent every heartbeat-colored day
As if our hearts
were filling to capacity.

We got used to the uniforms and the indoor shoes,
And the scribbles on the whiteboard.
We wonder if we have to be prepared
When we enter tomorrow.

But you know, we were able to meet a wonderful angel!
Graduation is not the end
Because we’ll be friends even after.
Photos of us together,
Our matching key chains,
They’ll shine forever.
Thank you for always smiling.

Hey, even the cherry blossom trees
Look like they’ve gotten a little taller
But at such a slow speed we can’t perceive.

We’re sure you were looking at that sky.
There were many things we failed
But even so we were able to walk until the end.

In the corridors after school,
The feathers of music gently overflowed
Until they pile up softly and lightly.
If only we’d be able to stay like this.

But you know, we touched a lovable angel.
The place where we want to say “Hi,”
Will never change.
The texts in the inbox,
The things circled on the calender,
You gave us extraordinary dreams and encounters.
Thank you for the music.

The station platform, the road along the river bed,
Even if we are separated, look at the same sky
And let’s sing in unison!

But you know, we were able to meet a wonderful angel!
Graduation is not the end
Because we’ll be friends even after.
If you say “I really love you”
We’ll say in return “We really, really love you!”
We won’t leave you behind.
We’ll always be together for eternity.
