Lyrics & Translation
Every night you and I still meet, chasing dreams
Gifting you Hello Kitty toys, today turned into jasmine perfume
Your smile remains warm as ever
Kept in your comic books, that beautiful fairy partner of the past
Like a flood of youth, now impossible to pursue
That story ended suddenly, and before breathless, it was buried
Teaching us both to carry an unspoken spell in our hearts that we can't release
Let’s check if the other is safe today
Even if we meet as strangers in the crowd, I still sneak a look while you sleep on Facebook
Since that goodbye, has my life stalled?
Even if I finally accepted fate and met her
I believe we’ll meet again someday, just please don’t like her
You and I will go home in each other's arms from now on
Actually, you’re like a painting, painfully hanging on this old heart
Is life not going smoothly? Just stare at this painted opal flower
That story ended suddenly, and before breathless, it was buried
Teaching us both to carry an unspoken spell in our hearts that we can't release
Let’s check if the other is safe today
Even if we meet as strangers in the crowd, you still look as beautiful as first love in my memories
Kissed for twenty years without cold, left for sixty still hot
With you, like being under an old spell, cast low
Every night I think of the other
Who would say that such nostalgia will surely glow again
Actually, just let me keep recalling someone, and it will shine brightly
Everyone also asks
The secret to everlasting love—only grand departure can make it legendary
You haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten, better than just being by my side
That story ended suddenly, and before breathless, it was buried
Only then did the unspoken spell in our hearts become unbreakable
Let’s check if the other is well every day
Even if we meet as strangers, I fear I won’t stop missing you in this life
Lingering, unwilling to cross over to the other side
