UWABE dake de imamo

kimi wo moteasonderu

kimi wa nanimo kizukazu
MINUS ni kooru ai

You lay there, blood oozing… no, flowing out of countless wounds that marred your skin.

For the second time before you, I cried, this time, unashamedly.

Your lips moved. I could make out the word aishiteru through my blurred vision.

I realised my love for you… pure, burning passion. Was it too late?

mukuchina kimi ni

mukuchina ai de

mukuchi na fukaikan wo
mukuchina boku ni

mukuchina ai de

mukuchina kizuato

I remembered the many times when you tried to show concern for me.

The time when we were at the basement of Diet Building, you drew me to you in an attempt to protect me from the falling debris resulting from the earthquake that was occurring then.

You hurt your arm. But you said it didn't matter; after all you were fated to die for the woman you loved: me.

juuhachi ninma no kimi

boku ni kizuiteinai

yasashisa ni uratsuketa

kooritsuita kono ai wo

I tried to avoid you whenever possible, and tried to keep a nonchalant façade to discourage you.

Initially, I was unaffected by your affection for me.

But gradually, eventually, I found that I couldn't just ignore you anymore. I myself couldn't understand this new feeling that raced through me whenever you were near me.

Until the day when you suddenly began bleeding everywhere.

Because of your concern for me, you risked your life to send a guardian to protect me.

Reality hit me hard, really hard, that day.

shizukana kimi ni

shizukana ai de

shizukana kaikan koroshi

shizukana boku ni

shizukana ai de

shizukana…

I realised I cared for you.

That day, I shed my first tears for someone other than myself.

The first crystals of love.

But I hid my feelings from you. I didn't want to openly admit what I truly felt for you.

I loved you silently.

shizukani shizukani

karameau futari

kokoro mukuchi ni

kokoro shizuka de

kokoro ni yaiba mukete

kokoro mukuchi ni

kokoro moteasondemitemo

The kiss we shared in your hospital room. The only way I'd ever expressed my feelings for you. I wondered if you understood my situation. I hoped, and still hope, you did.

I felt that we were a case of forbidden love. Perhaps it was my selfishness that made me think that.

I didn't want to love you because I was self-centred. You were fated to die for me. And I knew that if I loved you, I would be left all alone, heartbroken in this world…

kaerenai kaerezuni

karameau futari

Tears flowed freely down my cheeks clearing my vision for a split second before another onslaught of tears attacked my face again.

Your eyes were glazed, the last of your fire dimming.

With a great effort, you brought your palm to my cheek and caressed it with your rough, calloused thumb.

Wiping away my tears, you mouthed don't cry.

You were going.

I made a choice, a choice I knew I'd never forget.

I lowered my head and my lips sought contact with yours.

Our last kiss, before the last of your life blood ebbed out of your body.

itsukara ka

anata ni kizuiteita demo

saigo ni kimi wo dakishimeta

You left.

I never got the chance to express myself with words, but I hoped you died with the knowledge that I loved you.

I hugged your limp but still warm body, not knowing that it would be for the last time…

End.
