TRANSLATION

You suddenly said, “You can cry if you want”
Somehow it made me happy, instead of tears I smiled
My words were so clumsy, they hurt you
But I don’t want you to leave me, I want you to stay beside me always
Wishes, the dreams I want to come true
The feelings I wish I could tell you
A miracle created from the things I’ve always believed in
Is connecting us to the future
Always, always I want you to watch over me
Dear My Friend
You said, on leaving “You’ll be able to do it”
The loneliness I felt was wiped clean with those words
I’m opening a new door, anyone would be frightened
All I have to do, is remember you, and strength flows through me
I won’t give up my feelings
If I can give a voice to all these words
Then the future will open up wide
Because you are always, always in my heart
Dear My Friend
-Interlude-
I vow that
No matter if I stop, or if I forget
I will keep moving forward
Light is shining down, when I look up at the sky
Until the day when I can see you again
I won’t give up my feelings
If I can give a voice to all these words
Then the future will open up wide
Wishes, the dreams I want to come true
The feelings I wish I could tell you
A miracle created from the things I’ve always believed in
Is connecting us to the future
Always, always I want you to watch over me
Dear My Friend
