I don't blame you.
I don't blame myself.
But, maybe…
Maybe it would…
Maybe it would have been better…
Would have been better if…
If we had never met.
I couldn't sit there and smile
Sit there and smile as if nothing…
Nothing had happened…
I couldn't sit and watch…
Sit and watch you fall apart…
I wanted… to just erase it all.
I wanted to erase it all…
Erase the time when…
When we were happy
Most happy…
When we were most happy with only ourselves
Ourselves… lost…
Deep inside ourselves.
So perhaps, even though…
Even though sometimes…
The pain
Became too much…
It became too much.
I left it there.
I left it there to feel…
To remember…
I left it there to remember
To remember that precious time…
That precious time…
We spent together
(Just the two of us)
You remind me daily…
Daily of that pain.
The pain I felt…
The pain you felt…
And you reminded me…
Of it every day…
You reminded me of it every day.
(Spring is my favourite season)
What becomes of snow?
What does it become?
When it melts…
What does it become?
Not water…
But spring.
It becomes spring.
To me, you were spring
And I had…
I had completely frozen.
Completely frozen into snow.
And you were spring.
Fresh, clear spring…
It was inevitable that…
(Almost inevitable)
Almost inevitable that…
I would fall in love…
Fall in love with you.
Some people, they say… they say
(Being with you)
Being with another person…
Can make you feel…
So alive…
But it was also inevitable…
That it would…
That it would cause pain…
Pain to those around…
But, then…
(2 weeks)
2 weeks…
the first week… it was like a dream…
a dream…
a fantasy…
"A lifetime of happiness
Condensed down
Into 2 small weeks"
But then…
It all changed.
And now…
(and now)
He always smiled… I too
Always smiled.
Now, that smile…It pierces my heart.
"I'm happy…that I met you."
He declared.
He declared…
So truly.
"I'm happy that I…
I'm so happy that I…
I fell in love with you…"
"and I promise…
"I love you"
"I promise that I want…
I want to be near you."
We started crying.
I started crying.
I was…
The frozen snow
That was melted by…
A breath of spring.
It all changed.
Change…
Every time I moved
My heart ached…
All that kept me alive…
Alive…
Were my memories of you.
My precious…
My precious, precious memories.
The memories of…
That one person…
Most important to me…
"Perhaps, it would have been better…
if we had never met…"
"I think… I believe… it would have been better…if we had never met."
I want to forget…I want
I want to push away…
I never thought…
I never thought I would have to…
I never thought I would have to erase my most important memories.
My memories…
"The memories most important to me…"Even though it hurt people…
It hurt people…
I cared about…
People you cared about…
"Is this retribution?" "Is this…my punishment?…"
Was it my final duty…
To release him…
To release myself…
From this pain?
I think we both…
Truly…
Wanted to be released…
To be released.
"What's hurting you right now, is your memories of him…
your love for him…"
it would have been easier…
much easier…
so much easier…
to forget.
I want to forget.
I want to…
Forget you…
So that there's nothing there…
Nothing at all…
Nothing there…
To hurt anymore.
Nothing.
So now…
To find something…
Or someone…To make him happy…
As for me?
Even if…
Even if I die by snow…
(What becomes of snow?)
surrounded…
surrounded by snow…
that will never melt…
I don't care.
I don't.
It's been a long time…
A long time…
Since I've given him…
A second thought.
And now…
Those memories.
They sting.
(I wonder
if it's the snow…)
It had been…
Such a long time…
Since I saw him.
And…
He was smiling.
Smiling…
But not
In the same way
As before.
Not in the same way he did back then.
"I need you to forget…to forget me…
forget our memories…
forget us…
and the way we were."
His head fell…
Onto my shoulder…
His eyes…
Empty…
With regret.
My eyes…
Hardened…
Once again…
Into snow.
(What becomes of snow?)
"Do you love her?
Will you help her…"(It will be hard)
"I know this will be hard for you…
but if you love her…
you need to help her."
And so…
He did.
"I'm sorry…
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry…you see, now…Perhaps, it would have been better…
Perhaps it would have been better…
Would have been better…
If we had…
never met."
"I'm so sorry."
"are you really…
are you really okay…
with forgetting?"
"Won't you…
regret it?"
But I don't…
He doesn't.
I don't regret…
Getting involved.
I don't regret…
Falling in love.
How could I regret…
The best thing that happened to me?
To melt the cold…
To melt the cold, hard snow…
Frozen…
Frozen around myself…
And especially…
Around him.
Someday…
Someday..
That snow…
That snow…
Will all melt.
Until then…
I'm happy.
