That day, you took me by the hand and said,
+
"Let's aim for a life beyond the wall"
+
You embraced my weak and delicate shoulders
+
And we walked throughout the deep darkness
+
The dream we aimed for is far away
+
The dream we lost is also far away
+
The summer we spent together, just the two of us, began
+
Walking on the tatami mat barefoot was painful
+
The fireworks you bought for me
+
Still made me feel depressed, so it was no good
+
The dream we aimed for is far away
+
The dream we lost is also far away
+
You always loved nothing but boring things
+
The increasing number of cats you gathered was worrisome
+
You had always smiled next to me
+
We heard a bell chime as we strolled back home
+
It was so nostalgic it made tears stream down my face
+
You shook off my hand and took off running
+
The sky was dark like it is now, and closed in around us
+
The dream we aimed for is far away
+
The dream we lost is also far away
+
The cold rain fell; you were alone,
+
Watching the stones tumble under your feet
+
I held a cat covered in wounds
+
We, still being protected, were there
+
It would have been better if I hadn't remembered what that meant
+
Not after long, we were brought back
+
The leftover fireworks were still left untouched
+
I held them and visited your room
+
And before I realized it, you had stopped smiling
+
You always loved nothing but boring things
+
The increasing number of cats you gathered was worrisome
+
This time, it's my turn to smile for you
+
This time, it's my turn to take you to that summer
+
