English

I took out the letter you sent,
appreciating it amongst scattered, dried leaves.

You taught me many things
that cannot be learned from books.

You helped me understand
things like never giving up,
and facing things without fear,
and how wonderful people can be.

I wanted to say "Thank you,"
but I just couldn't say it.
I was not able to be of any use, but
I will not forget
the days I was with you.

[Instrumental]

If you ask me what the meaning of friendship is,
I will answer "believing."

But that's why we believe, right?
No matter how far apart we may be.

When times are hard, look up the stars.
Whisper "I am not alone."
Having done that, you can walk on again,
and go on living your own way.

Someday, I want to give back to everyone
the memory of the smiles that become my courage.
No matter how many times we part,
we can meet again, you know?
Going beyond miracles.

P.S.   By the way, is our
love, even now, forever?

I wanted to say "Thank you,"
but I just couldn't say it.
I was not able to be of any use, but
I will not forget
the days I was with you.
