If I Hadn't Met You 「あなたに出会わなければ」

***

I don’t need things like memories
I want to sleep forever
Is it okay if morning doesn't come?
You’re always smiling in my dreams
Why haven't you disappeared?

I gave you everything

You gave me anything?

Surely, forever

You’re everything, still my everything

I love you indeed

Like snow that falls in the hottest summer

Our love is a fleeting miracle

If I hadn’t met you, I wouldn't be feeling sad this way

This grief that tightens my chest wouldn't exist, but

If I hadn't been able to meet you, I wouldn't know anything about

Strength or kindness

So I sat in the middle of the room and cried, without seeing anything

I don’t need things like seasons

I don't want to touch anything

Is it okay if I've forgotten that flower's name?

But in my dream, you are smiling

Even now, you are.

What is that?

I gave you everything. You gave me anything?

Always, forever

You’re everything, I’m still waiting.

Is it okay to love you?

Like a flower that blooms in the harshest winter, now you're just a fleeting memory

If I hadn’t met you, I wouldn’t be feeling lonely like this

There wouldn't be nights when my tears just don't stop

All I want to tell you is “You're still loved"

Like I was on the night when I first started laughing

If I could have just one wish

I would wish you could touch me once more

I felt glad to be born

As I shined in the morning sun

If I hadn’t met you, I wouldn't be feeling sad this way

This grief that tightens my chest wouldn't exist, but

If I hadn't been able to meet you, I wouldn't know anything about

Strength or kindness

So If I close my eyes, you'll be right there

Still, forever, when I close my eyes, you'll still be right there
