[English]
"My memories"
If I count them
From that place I miss so much, how far have I come
Have I traveled so far
Tonight, feeling lonely
"My treasures"
If I count them
You're always there
Exactly how much
Have I been saved
Tonight, not feeling lonely
A miracle-like fate
The serendipity of life
On the rainbow bridge, I even knelt down
All I can say now is this
That I am not alone
I want to hold you tight
All my sorrow
Flying gracefully like a fairy
We paint the night sky
Holding hands tightly
Just like always
My memories
Gaining color
On a dry watercolor
Adding glitter
Transforming into music
That’s all there is
Not just wonder or contradiction
Footprints we've left
If they match perfectly
We call it destiny
The knot of a ribbon
Compared to a connection
At the entrance of the rainbow bridge
Time started to move
All I can say now is this
Thank you for meeting me
When I hold your hand
All my sadness
Can be blown away
Like a compass pointing our way
We’re not afraid
Beyond the trust, what awaits
Could it be something waiting for us?
Even the darkness we can’t avoid
If we’re with someone, we can smile
Even careless days
And ordinary days
Loving them all
Even the emptiness that can’t be fooled
Even as the night sky’s picture blurs
One step after another
We can move on
I want to hold you close
All my sadness and happiness
I want to see you
Always from now on
Look at this murky water
Look at this cloudy sky
Look at this foggy road
It will definitely clear someday
Wounds will heal eventually
I’ve truly walked this path
In the sky we missed seeing,
There’s always a rainbow
My memories
If I count them
