I keep sighing at my perplexing days,
+
that I've lost sight of my true self.
+
I can't hear your voice no matter how hard I listen,
+
but I will continue walking today to chase after it.
+
My thoughts for you, through the passage of time,
+
morph into a cocoon, and now they spread their wings and take off.
+
I won't forget the one most precious thing.
+
Will my thoughts reach you? Please do, somehow, someday.
+
I wish to try to show you the things I'm capable of,
+
even though I'm so tiny and ordinary.
+
Tired from walking, I stood still at an intersection.
+
Flowers of a nostalgic fragrance were blooming there.
+
I journeyed on, stashing into my pocket
+
the bitter thoughts I had, so that they wouldn't spill.
+
I accidentally went the long way or broke my journey many times,
+
but I'll soon arrive at the place where the future and the past meet.
+
I searched, and I lost, a thing or two.
+
I passed by one or two nameless strangers.
+
Without a doubt, I'll only keep on being my unaware self.
+
Where is the light that will illuminate the answer?
+
I won't forget the one most precious thing.
+
Will my thoughts reach you? Please do, somehow, someday.
+
I wish to show you the things I'm capable of,
+
even though I'm so tiny and ordinary.
+
Surely, there are no wishes that will forever stay unfulfilled.
+
Those thoughts have been conveyed, deeply and powerfully.
+
Just for now, I want to continue doing this for a little longer,
+
for this is the one thing I'm capable of.
