Lyrics

Japanese	Romaji	English
“拝啓　私へ	"haikei watashi e	"Dear me, age 25,
25歳の君に　今日がどう見えるかな？”「あのね･･･」	nijuugosai no kimi ni kyou ga dou mieru kana?" ano ne	how do you think today looks?"
降り注ぐ　桜雨の中	furisosogu sakura ame no naka	As the sakura petals rained down,
指折った数は　卒業への日々	yubiotta kazu wa sotsugyou e no hibi	I'd counted down the number of days towards graduation on my fingers
三年歩いた　この道が	sannen aruita kono michi ga	This road I've walked for the past 3 years
少しずつだけど　短くなるようで	sukoshi zutsu dakedo mijikaku naru you de	Seems like it's, though only just a bit, grown shorter
焦がれた	kogareta	And I fell in love
意味なんて求めず過ごした毎日	imi nante motomezu sugoshita mainichi	I spent each day without wanting to find a meaning to all of this,
心残りも胸に抱いて	kokoronokori mo mune ni daite	Keeping regrets hidden within my chest
何百回も目を瞑った　ボクの大切な想い	nanbyakkai mo me o tsubutta boku no taisetsu na omoi	I've shut my eyes hundreds of times, pretending to not see my precious feelings
ありえないって　らしくないって　何度も言い聞かせた	arienai tte rashikunai tte nando mo iikikaseta	"There's no way," "It's not like you," I told myself so many times.
もどかしさに理由を付けて　縋(すが)るだけの臆病者	modokashisa ni riyuu o tsukete sugaru dake no okubyoumono	My reason for this irritating, impatient feeling: I’m a coward who can only rely on others
拙い見栄を張って　また嘘をついた	tsutanai mie o hatte mata uso o tsuita	Shoddily pretending and showing off, I told more lies
どこかの誰かが言いだした	dokoka no dareka ga iidashita	Someone out there suggested one day
ありふれた　『タイムカプセル作戦』	arifureta "taimukapuseru sakusen"	A rather ordinary 'Time capsule plan'
あの人は　何を残すかな	ano hito wa nani o nokosu kana	What will he be leaving behind, I wonder?
気がつくと　いつも胸の奥の奥	ki ga tsuku to itsumo mune no oku no oku	Then I realized that I’d always kept deep in my chest
まだ奥	mada oku	and still deeper
すれ違うだけで嬉しくて儚い	surechigau dake de ureshikute hakanai	Passing by each other, just that made me happy, however short it felt
心残りも言えなくて	kokoronokori mo ienakute	Unable to tell you the regrets within my chest
何千回も否定してた　ボクの隠してる気持ち	nanzenkai mo hitei shiteta boku no kakushiteru kimochi	I've denied them thousands of times, the feelings I'm hiding
気のせいだって　疲れてるって　恋に恋していた	ki no sei datte tsukareterutte koi ni koishite ita	"It's just your imagination," "You're just tired," I fell in love with love itself
やるせなさに理由を重ね　縋（すが）るだけじゃ進めない	yarusenasa ni riyuu o kasane sugaru dake ja susumenai	The reasons I give for my helplessness pile up: I can’t move forewards if I keep relying on others
最後を飾る華は　アナタへの想いで	saigo o kazaru hana wa anata e no omoi de	The flowers decorating the end are my feelings for you
気づいて　気がついた　本当の	kizuite ki ga tsuita hontou no	I realized that I'd realized how I really...
告げずに後悔をするくらいなら	tsugezu ni koukai o suru kurai nara	If I don't tell you, and I'll only come to regret it,
言おう　君へ	iou kimi e	then I'll say it aloud to you...
作戦当日　便りを二つ握り	sakusen toujitsu tayori o futatsu nigiri	The day of the play, I held onto two letters
最後の　あの道で	saigo no ano michi de	The last time I’d walk down that path
記憶のストロボ瞬き　心付く	kioku no sutorobo mabataki kokoro zuku	The flashing lights of my memory twinkled, and then I realized
大それた告白なんかじゃなくて	daisoreta kokuhaku nanka ja nakute	that this confession isn't too overambitious for me
何十回も書き直した　ボクの大切な想い	nanjukkai mo kakinaoshita boku no taisetsu na omoi	I've rewritten them tens of times, my precious feelings
もうやめようって　でも書こうって　何度も言い聞かせた	mou yameyou tte demo kakou tte nando mo iikikaseta	"I want to quit already," "But I'll keep writing," I told myself so many times
桜色の便箋二つ　本気（みらい）のボクに託して	sakurairo no binsen futatsu mirai no boku ni takushite	I'll entrust these two sakura-colored pieces of stationery to myself in the future, once I've gotten serious.
本日　桜(はな)のち雨　また嘘をつき　笑った	honjitsu hana nochi ame mata uso o tsuki waratta	Today, under the raining sakura petals, I lied again and smiled
「10年後のキミには　そう言えますように･･･」	"juunen-go no kimi ni wa sou iemasu you ni..."	"So after 10 years have passed, I'll be able to tell you..."
