The morning peeks in through the window, the same as always My treasure is what gets me through the day again today It has no shape, no one can touch it, I don't want to lose it It binds my precious love I haven't forgotten your smile or the promise you made that day It's always echoing within my heart Don't disappear as if sleeping, oh pieces of my memories Even if you break, stay here forever and ever We had our backs to the sunset and just kept walking Our long shadows are still burned into my eyes Time's passage is worn into My shoes, as little by little they get older A bit embarrassed, we said to each other, "I can protect you" Just the fact that it's not a lie makes me happy The seasons pass and I walk alone, a bit lonely But even so that promise is alive Someday we'll meet again The light is shining I haven't forgotten your smile or the promise you made that day It's always echoing within my heart Don't disappear as if sleeping, oh pieces of my memories Even if you break, stay here forever and ever And now the days pass and I draw nearer to adulthood Even if on the way I hug my knees and hang my head The one thing that saves me and makes me look up to tomorrow's sky Is that unchanging promise Someday we'll meet again The light is shining I want to send you The same words from that time
