The morning that peeped in through the window
Never changes
Today, the thing that keeps me going
Is my treasure

It's shapeless, no one can touch it
I don't want to lose it
It ties important feelings together

I haven't been forgetting about them
Your smile and the promise on that day
They're always echoing out in my heart
Don't disappear, as though going to sleep
Pieces of my memories
Have broken apart, stay right here
Forever

With my back to the twilight
I walk through thick and thin
The shadows that stretch out, even now
Are burned into my eyes

My shoes that have little by little gotten old
Having the flow of time being etched into them

"I'll protect you"
Those seemingly embarassing words that we exchanged
Aren't lies; With them, I'm happy
The seasons pass, I walk alone
It's somewhere, alone
Yet certainly, that promise
Still lives on

Goodbye, until one day when we meet again
Yes, the light shines

I haven't been forgetting about them
Your smile and the promise on that day
They're always echoing out in my heart
Don't disappear, as though going to sleep
Pieces of my memories
Have broken apart, stay right here
Forever

The changing days, now
Bring us closer to adulthood, like this
Even if I bend down and clutch my knees on the way there
The thing that helps me to
Look up to tomorrow's sky
Is one, irreplaceable promise

Goodbye, until one day when we meet again
Yes, the light shines
The words are the same as they were then
I want to send them out to only you
