I hope "the place where you can be yourself" will remain here where I am.
Be it "deceit" or "hatred", your emotion will always be my companion,
so feel free to use whichever word you'd like as your answer.
Both lies with the name "gentleness" and true feelings "I didn't wanna hear"
will cause pain to the two of us but also protect us.
I'm sure we could have become sworn enemies at some point along the way,
but if we are going to become people who are "no longer worthy of attention",
then maintaining "the status quo" will allow us to stay together longer, even just for 1 second.
But you ask, "Won't you become worn out? I don't want you to have to resort to pretense"...
I hope the notion of "two people" will remain "important" to the two of us.
If I must do whatever I can to be "needed" by you, then I'll become your "antagonist".
If only I had been better at telling lies...to the point of being able to trick my own heart,
then I, having made you "a liar", would turn your lies into truths for you.
The sunlight is so blinding, that I now wish for the gentle light of a chipped moon...
We cast shadows which follow us and are "indiscernible unless within darkness".
When we are shadows we'll be able to combine and "become one",
so "look this way? I'm right behind you! Come here? Enter my shadow!"
"How long has it been like this? This is not my real self." I think...
Be the "number one" we will choose! Please always love me.
Is even "my willful thinking" troubling you? It's my self-indulgence.
What's so bad about going our separate ways each holding on to an unrequited love?
"Love" alone won't be sufficient...but I believe I'll still be able to try my best.
Even if that scrap of paper is ripped, I'll still watch over my "vow".
The fact that "we have made a promise" will become a reassuring amulet for me.
Be free? Be happy! Even if the two of us were no longer with each other,
just do whatever you want? I have full faith in you!
I'll be happy if you could "think about me from time to time at your own convenience".
