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
