One Night

That night I was writing sitting very still,
So not to my mother in the next room
By a squeaking chair spoil a dream.
 

And when I needed a certain book,
I stepped over the carpet carefully,
My main concern with every move
Being not to wake up the dear old lady.
 

And the night was flowing, peaceful and silent,
And then I remembered that she was longer present.
 

Unfulfilled Feelings

I fell in love, knowing my feelings would go unfulfilled
Afterwards, the tears started flowing and won't stop
 

On Sunday at the cafe terrace
I suggested we go check out the sea
Pretending not to know that you had a girlfriend
I said something self-indulgent
You smiled, remarking that it's just like me
To always be so spur of the moment
After casually glancing at your wristwatch
You stepped out of the cafe ahead of me
 

Afternoon, on the sidewalk
Where our two shadows swayed
Saying it wouldn't be strange to be mistaken for lovers
I purposely entwined my arm in yours
 

Even though there are others who look a lot like you
Why is it that my heart is drawn to you...to you?
 

You said the sea breeze was still chilly
As you offered me
Some hot cocoa and a blue muffler
I nearly began to cry
 

Oh how I wanted to dream
While leaning in your arms
Am I not good enough for you・・・？
The moment I asked, waves carried my voice away
 

I fell in love, knowing my feelings would go unfulfilled
Afterwards, the tears started flowing and won't stop
 

It's likely there won't be any change
Between the two of us
You gently patted my head, and said
You considered me a cherished younger sister
 

I fell in love, knowing my feelings would go unfulfilled
I'm fine being a younger sister, just please...please stay near me
 

White Valentine

If I listen carefully, I can make out the faint sound of snow
On sleepless night, the window pane fogs up with breath
Tomorrow's chance will provide encouragement
To my usually shy self, on a pure white Valentine's Day
 

　I'm going to give a hand-knit sweater along with a poem
　Will he even turn around? I'm serious when I say I'm in love
 

　　White Valentine
　　I want to make a world just for the two of us
　　Dream Valentine
　　Again chasing after a dream
 

Looking at your smile in the photo frame, I wonder if I have a rival
Outside the world's silver, virtually like a fairyland
If I fall asleep in love, chocolates adorned in ribbons
Appear and disappear, on a pure white Valentine's Day
 

　Because I couldn't say it, I'll give it with a poem enclosed
　Will he even notice? I'm serious when I say I'm in love
 

　　White Valentine
　　Conversing about love, well...it's a little early for that
　　Dream Valentine
　　In order for a dream to come true
 

　Though a bit embarrassing, I'll give it with a poem enclosed
　Will he even accept it? I'm serious when I say I'm in love
 

　　White Valentine
　　The path for just the two of us, continues on and on
　　Dream Valentine
　　The dream has only just begun
 

Night Spin

A voice like it's asking, like it's waiting for tomorrow
shakes and fades away again inside me.
For I only experience in an infinite present
a sequence of painful nights where it hurts somewhere.
 

Ah Now that I've made my way to transparent emotions,
today blossoms in the sky.
In that case
though I'll surely learn about loneliness,
be there wrapping everything up.
 

As if it's gone, as if it's faded,
your warmth flickers far away, riding on the wind.
As if ever singing, as if touching me over here,
it reaches fullness, breathing even if it lacks meaning.
 

You can't notice anything. So then does everything
go on changing like the phases of the moon?
Bye-bye to days of getting hurt
until I can smile.
If I cry, may I stay here
Noteuntil the end when it gets a little dark?1
The reply is always …
 

Thus whenever I walk,
the sorrows that come are something to go through,
wishing to be smiling with you, alone and shaken.
 

It's just that …
 

Now that I've made my way to transparent emotions,
today blossoms in the sky.
 

In that case
 

if I'm to surely learn about warmth,
wrap up everything for me.
 

• 1. (or) When I cry it gets a little darker, so may I stay here until the end?
