Time to Depart 「旅立つキミへ」

***

Cherry blossoms dance under the chilly spring sky.
You march on, with dreams and hopes upon your little shoulders.

I want to send you off as you begin your journey.
I should have done that seriously at least today. (I should have.)

I placed all my smiles in a bouquet of flowers
that I am sending to you along with a message:

Thank you for laughing with me.
Thank you for crying with me.

Don't worry, you will be fine.
Just keep going straight in the path you believe in.

I opened my heart only to you
I am telling you my secrets and all.
(There is a secret for you)
At times I can beat you.
They are pseudo fights though.

Such merciful people are really rare, aren't they? (Aren't they?)
When it get really, really hard, just give me a call.

You'll be okay, no matter how far apart we become.
You'll be okay because I will always be your friend.

Even if you get married
Even if you grow old
No matter how much time passes
You will be my best friend I'm proud of.

The overflowing fake tears you set free deceived me.
On the other side of the moving window, your figure gradually draws further away as you wave at me.

Thank you for laughing with me.
Thank you for crying with me.

In the times that keep changing
you keep marching on without changing.

Good-bye, it starts from now on.
Good-bye, I will always be your friend.

You will be fine, you are not alone.
You'll always have a place to go back to, right here.
Right here.
Right here.
Right here.
Right here.
