Disclaimer: The song and the English translation is not mine. But Kisa's feelings towards Haru is mine!!
Author's note: This song is about Kisa. How she motivated herself to face her fear.
Kisa smiled as she looked into Haru's face, Haru has always been there for her. Haru looked at Kisa, smile back and said,
"You better get ready for school tomorrow. Don't worry, Tohru, Momiji, Yuki, Kyou and me will stand behind you, supporting all the way."
Totemo ureshikatta yo , kimi ga warai kakede ta
I was so happy, you were laughing
Subete o tokasu hou emi de
With a smile that melts everything away
Kisa was pretty determined about going to school. I'm strong. I can do it. She said to herself. Kisa began to love herself, as Haru said, "Everyone has their own uniqueness." She was going to show them the real her, no matter what they may say.
Haru wa mada tookute , tsumetai tsuchi no naka de
Spring is still far away, inside the cold earth,
Me fuku toki o matte ta 'n da
Waiting for the time to sprout
She had flashbacks of the time her classmates made fun of her and stayed away from her. She brushed those thoughts aside and motivated herself, I can't keep living in shadows, like a coward. I want to be strong, I just have to face my fear head on. I want to be normal!
Tatoeba kurushii kyou da to shite mo
For instance, even if today is painful
Kinou no kizu o nokoshite ite mo
And yesterday's wounds remain
Shinjitai , kokoro hodo ite yukere to
I want to believe that I can free my heart and go on
It's like Haru said, I cannot run away from living life. I must change to become stronger. With every test I was thrown at, I become tougher. Kisa said in her heart. I got nothing to lose. I still have my family members and sister Tohru, and of course, Haru, my spring.
Umare kawaru koto wa dekinai yo
I cannot be reborn
Dakedo kawatte wa ikeru kara
But I can change as I go on,
so LET'S STAY TOGETHER itsu mo
Let's stay together always
Kisa smiled and continued, Haru, is my salvation. The warmth of his hug was unforgettable. I need him.
Boku dake ni waratte sono yubi de nee sawatte
Smile only at me and touch me with those fingers
Nozomi bakari ga hateshinaku
This simple desire is everlasting
Kisa felt a tapped on her shoulder. She turned around and saw Haru beaming at her. Kisa took his hand and caressed it with her cheek. Thank you Haru. She said in her heart.
Yasashiku shitai yo mou kuyanu you ni
I want things to be simple
Nageki no umi mo koete ikou
Let's finally get across this sea of mournful sorrow
Let all those memories become my strength. With every painful events I stumbled on and face it, I become stronger.
Tatoe kurushii kyou da to shite mo
For instance, even if today is painful
Itsu ka atatakana omoide ni naru
Someday it will become a warm memory
Kokoro goto subete nage daseta nara
If you leave everything up to your heart
Although life is sometimes hard and painful, there's always a good side in life. I'm glad I was born. I'm glad to have people caring and loving me always.
Koko ni ikiteru imi ga wakaru yo
I understand the meaning our living here
Umare ochita yorokobi o shiru
It is to know the joy of having been born
LET'S STAY TOGETHER itsu mo
Let's stay together always
"Kisa, we're at your school now. This is the path you must face all by yourself. We can only support you from behind. Good luck." Haru said as they arrived at Kisa's school.
Everyone said good luck to Kisa. She walked nervously and whispering to herself I can do it! Time seems to slow down. She turned around. Everyone seems to be very far away.
Kisa was in front of her class. It seems really quiet. They must be expecting me, Said Kisa. She hesitated on sliding the door. She breathed in and out a few times, gathered up her courage and slid the door. Then, a bright light engulfed her.
