Can't go back, can't go back…
I walked alone in the rain. Not much different from usual, then. I always tell myself to look towards tomorrow, but sometimes I can't help but think about what has happened before in the past.
Dreaming comes so easily
'Cause it's all that I know
I've always had the same dream, for such a long time.
'I'm gonna become the next Hokage! I'll show you all!'
That's was all I said, everyday. It was my dream after all. But what is a dream without anyone else to believe you can make it come true?
True love is a fairytale
I'm damaged so how would I know?
People always tell me it's foolish to have such an impossible dream. They say it's nothing but a fairytale. But how do I know if it's really impossible? I've never had any other dream before… except maybe having a family.
I'm scared, and I'm alone
I'm ashamed and I need for you to know
Everyday I wear the same fake smile, hiding my fear and pain from everyone. I think: 'Maybe if I smile, people will like me, and be my friend!'
But it never really seemed to work that way.
I didn't say all the things I wanted to say
And you can't take back what you have taken away
I wanted to tell people how I really felt, just to take away the pressure of keeping it all inside. If I could share my pain, maybe it would be just a little more bearable, if only a little.
'Cause I feel you
I feel you, near me
I heard footsteps in the puddles behind me. I turned. A young woman with pink hair stood there. Sakura. Why is she here? She asks what I'm doing out here, and that I'll get sick if I stay. Does she really care?
Feeling comes so painfully
And it chills to the bone
Shivers run down my spine as I begin to realise how cold the rain actually is. She offers me her umbrella. I feel a wrench at my heart. Does she really care?
Will anyone get close to me?
I'm damaged as I'm sure you know
I test a smile. She smiles back. Maybe she does care, maybe it is possible to become close to someone, even for someone like me.
Can't go back, can't go back…
We walk beside each other underneath the shelter of the umbrella. I smile. She smiles. I guess I found something to look forward to in the future.
And perhaps I could even move on from my past.
