Like a freeze-dried rose,

You will never be,

What you were,

What you were to me in memory

Oh, Kouta, remember when we were young?

We were only kids. Such gullible, innocent children. I loved every moment we spent together. We had everything. Until the day you went away. That day you left me, and never came back. And when I saw you again, you weren't the same. You weren't the Kouta I knew. You were someone different.

The real Kouta said they loved me, and that they would wait for me.

But you never did, did you?

But if I listen to the dark,

You'll embrace me like a star,

Envelope me, envelope me

You are playing hard to get, right?

I hope so. If you came out, said to me that you loved me, I would be so happy. I don't know why you won't tell me. Anything. You never talk to me anymore, anyway. It's all about Nyuu. All about Nyuu. I want to know whats going on between us. I want to know how you feel, at least. Even if you don't like me.

Will you please, please tell me?

If things get real for me down here,

Promise to take me to before you went away,

If only for a day,

If things get real for me down here,

Promise to take me back to the tune we played,

Before you went away,

And if I listen to,

The sound of white, sometimes,

I hear your smile,

And breathe your life,

Yeah, If I listen to,

The sound of white

You're my mystery,

One mystery,

My mystery,

One mystery

What is it that makes you want Nyuu more than me?

Kouta, you only met her about a month ago, and you like her more than you like me already. She did everything right, apparently. What if I washed up naked on a beach? What if I could only say one thing? What if I caused so much trouble? Would you love me?

I tried to accept her. I was friendly, gave her clothes, helped care for her.

What is so special about her?

My silence solidifies,

'Til that hollow void,

Erases you.

Erases you,

So I can't feel at all

You want me to forget you so easily?

Is that it?

If I just forget all about you, move away, and never spare you a thought. Someone is out there for me. Probably searching for someone. They'd tell me they loved me, and I would love them back. We would live a happy life. No one else, just us.

And you wouldn't care?

You'd just be happy for me?

But if I never feel again,

At least that nothing-ness will end,

The painful dream,

Of you and me.

Why can't I just get my own life?

A life that you aren't apart of. I try so hard to ignore you, all the stuff you do. You don't know how much pain it causes me. Its a pain I can't feel, you can't see, no one can see. I hide it from you all, I hide it from myself. Even I don't know it's there. Until I stop and think about it, then it comes back. That pain, remaining in my heart, haunting me all the time.

Why can't I accept this?

Why can't I move on?

I knelt before,

Some strangers face,

Well I never had the courage,

Or belief to trust this place,

But I dropped my head,

'Cause it felt like lead,

And I'm sure I felt your fingers through my hair.

I loved you.
