[Romaji] [Kanji]

So much time had passed already
I had no sense of reality, with a feeling that seemed like lack of sleep
As I stared at the ceiling, I remembered your body heat

When you want so much, your balance sways
Beyond the destruction is our cast off skins, and darkness
We really have fallen, haven’t we? And we don’t want to get back up

I want to treasure you, but I’m bound by words; bound hand and foot
Amongst my entanglement, your shadow is nowhere to be found

I tried to protect you, and crushed you in my hand
If only you were here; I couldn’t stand it anymore, and my tears spilled
The night was a little ways off in the distance

We always made fun of each other
Though it should have been just banter, one day
You didn’t hear it as a joke, and before I knew it, you had started crying

To be terribly confused, that’s what you chose
Because it was a desert, it was so easily ruined
But you firmly believed that if you poured love onto it, flowers would bloom

In retrospect, yes, I was looking at the me in the mirror
Even though the one that you saw, was the real me

The moonlight that thrust itself in, disappeared right in front of me
It doesn’t matter if it’s awkward, as I was quietly being held
The night quietly sat down in protest

I tried to protect you, and crushed you in my hand
If only you were here; I couldn’t stand it anymore, and my tears spilled
And the night began to shift, just a little
