English Translation


The short goodbye we used to say why does it sound so sad now? When tears flow down to my cheeks, I finally realized this was the end. “Please don’t go, don’t leave me so coldly“, I shouted till my heart aches but you said you’re leaving. You’re going to let go of my hand. Then, you turned around and left.


Even if I love again and meet someone else I won’t be able to meet someone like you again. No matter how much I cry, no matter how much I’ve said it to myself, I still want to see your face and I really hate myself for it.


This is probably just a dream. When I wake up, you’ll still be here with me. I try to reassure my broken heart. You are walking further away from me as I stand alone here. I cry to  myself watching you leave.


Even if I love again and meet someone else I won’t be able to meet someone like you again. No matter how much I cry, no matter how much I’ve said it to myself, I still want to see your face and I hate myself for it.


If you really loved, if you loved me, just turn around once for me. There is one thing you need to know. Just listen to these words before you go. Even if you meet someone better than me, don’t forget me.
