Feeling the autumn breeze, I have something I want to tell you
I couldn't say it until today
I was a little scared to fall in love
Honestly, I love you more than anyone else...
Hold me tight
Always, I was just looking at your back. Hey, I wanted to cry
Like setting the blue sky on fire, the sunset spread wide and red — that’s my love
I was hiding my overflowing feelings all this time
I kept causing you trouble, I'm sorry, I love you
Because I know you’re more mature than me
I’m anxious, so please, don’t let go of this hand
When I meet you, that kindness
Envelops everything about me
Until now, I didn’t know how painfully this love is...
Loving you
Just a little at a time, even a tiny bit — please promise me
On this long, sleepless night, until I fall asleep, please stay by my side
Don’t be surprised, forgive my selfishness
Because only you, only you, is who I love
The autumn wind is so mysterious, it makes me honest
I can’t go back anymore, you didn’t know that yet
Hold me tight
Always, I was just looking at your back. Hey, I wanted to cry
Like setting the blue sky on fire, the sunset spread wide and red — that’s my love
Just a little at a time, even a tiny bit — please promise me
On this long, sleepless night, until I fall asleep, please stay by my side
Don’t be surprised, forgive my selfishness
Because only you, only you, are who I love. Sorry, I love you. Answer to you
