Chapter 2 That Girl
I can remember so clearly
That rainy, fateful day
When I looked down the street
And saw her glance my way
I've always been shy
It's my major flaw
But that day, I just had to talk
To that girl I saw.
I went up to her
When the rain was pouring
As I opened my mouth
I could feel my heart soaring.
"What's your name?"
I asked with confidence
Her eyes twinkled
And my soul started to dance.
"Hana. Nono Hana."
She said to me
I smiled and replied by saying:
"I see."
I then frowned and said
"I hope I don't cause too much of a fuss."
She shook her head and said
"Oh no, I'm just waiting for the bus."
I looked up at the gray sky
And I knew what to do
I said: "I don't have an umbrella
But I can wait with you."
Hana looked at me
With her magenta eyes and hair
She gave me a smile
That was the definition of fair.
"That would be nice
I enjoy people's company."
"Even if they are strangers?" I asked
She said "If I didn't talk with new people, who would I be?"
I pondered this for a while
On the surface, it sounded naive.
But... what kind of opportunity
Would you miss out on if you leave
All people behind
For the sake of being alone?
It wouldn't be a pretty world
It wouldn't be a home.
As the bus pulled up
I asked her out on a date.
She gave me a warm smile
And said "That would be great."
