I took out the letter you sent,
+
appreciating it amongst scattered, dried leaves.
+
You taught me many things
+
that cannot be learned from books.
+
You helped me understand
+
things like never giving up,
+
and facing things without fear,
+
and how wonderful people can be.
+
I wanted to say "Thank you,"
+
but I just couldn't say it.
+
I was not able to be of any use, but
+
the days I was with you.
+
If you ask me what the meaning of friendship is,
+
I will answer "believing."
+
But that's why we believe, right?
+
No matter how far apart we may be.
+
When times are hard, look up the stars.
+
Whisper "I am not alone."
+
Having done that, you can walk on again,
+
and go on living your own way.
+
Someday, I want to give back to everyone
+
the memory of the smiles that become my courage.
+
No matter how many times we part,
+
we can meet again, you know?
+
P.S. � By the way, is our
+
love, even now, forever?
+
I wanted to say "Thank you,"
+
but I just couldn't say it.
+
I was not able to be of any use, but
+
the days I was with you.
