In the morning, the sun will shine. At night, darkness will fall. When spring comes, flowers bloom. When fall visits, leaves die off. But now is not morning, the sun does not shine. It is neither night, so the darkness does not overcome all. It is not spring, though the flowers have bloomed. Nor is it fall, for no leaves have died off.
When I'm with you, the sun does seem to shine, no matter if it is day or night. Your beauty is astounding, mesmerizing and some may say, ethereal.
I see you shaking your head at the sight of the afternoon, and at the smell of the beginnings of summer. You twirl and are clumsy but still you know how to raise your head high. You fall but still you stand, higher and higher you fly. You're like a bird and are not bound by the earth and sky. If you are a bird, then what am I?
We watch the pink petals of spring fall and you catch one in your outstretched hand. Slowly you turn to me with a smile that pierces my soul and say, "Ishida-kun", and I know that both my body and soul have been touched by you and to make you happy is what makes me move. You push back golden locks slowly, the petal is still in your hand and you are so gentle, you touch it as it were your own.
I smile back and say, "Inoue-san." I love you.
And the petals continue to fall behind us like the beginnings of winter's snow.
