Is it a silent requiem, or is it your shadow?
The afterimage is like the wind, blowing through my torn chest
There was no room for loneliness
Anywhere in you
Only the strength to survive alone
In a distant time
I who am prouder than anyone else offer up to you
The days when I focused intently
On you alone
Is it a trick of fate, or is it destiny?
This loss is like the sky, an endless blue scar
There is no room for sadness
Anywhere in me
The kindness that has led me this far
Is painful
I who am prouder than anyone swear to my friend
That I will protect that person to the end
With my life
"I'll become stronger than you," I said
Chasing after his retreating back
"For that person's sake"
I now understand the meaning
I who am prouder than anyone implore my friend
To make in the forest of memories
A final resting place
