Your voice melts me away

忘れたくないと心が云う

My heart says I don't want to forget

思い出ばっか増えてゆく

Memories keep piling up

ずっと側に居たい

I want to be by your side forever

泣き虫でもいいかな

Is it okay to be a crybaby?

強がらないでいいよ

You don't have to pretend to be strong

限りある恋だとしても

Even if it's a fleeting love

出逢えて幸せです

I'm happy to have met you
