As I walked, suddenly,
In the leisurely moments of time, like stepping backward
Someday, I’ll go back to that time
Touching an empty chest in Japanese
I try to get lost in old memories.
Making a low voice
I tried calling that name,
No answer, tangled all at once
No more words out loud
I just couldn’t let it go,
Just beyond the fading memories
Holding onto a single corner of my heart,
In the empty emptiness of being unable to return
Groping even the most hateful lump
I blew everything away in the wind.
But something is missing
Buried in emptiness all day long
Summoning a weary and collapsed heart
Randomly thudding this and that thudding
Soothing, soothing.
It’s a longing that’s past the years.
Now it’s just gone
I buried it in longing,
Maybe somewhere, we might suddenly run into each other
Isn’t this how we walk?
After a long while, before I knew it, I was once again
Surprised to be there,
Because of a bit of lingering attachment,
Only, letting out a sigh
After all, I am just walking alone.
