For some reason I wanted to see the ocean.
+
I arrived at the place of my memories.
+
By the winter sea even the wind is freezing
+
and I hear the rumbling of the waves
+
that sound like crying.
+
Back then you looked at me
+
with furrowed brows and asked, "Aren't you cold?",
+
as you embraced me strongly and gently.
+
"Ah, is there such a thing as eternal happiness?
+
Oh, please tell us.", we asked the waves.
+
The sandy beach we walked on together,
+
when all that remained was our merged shadows.
+
Now I walk it all alone.
+
The snow dances as even the sound of the waves
+
that stirs up my feelings.
+
Back then you took off your coat
+
and with only slightly narrowed eyes
+
you quietly put it on me.
+
"Ah, is there such a thing as eternal happiness?
+
Oh, please tell us.", we asked the waves.
+
"Ah, what is eternal happiness?
+
Oh, please answer me.", though I've asked
+
myself this many times.
