Scarlet
What I want to say to you is ‘thank you’Now, I think I can finally say it
But I just smiled and embraced you without a word
The light which surrounds everything
Let’s walk on again
Just like that day
Two shadows stretching towards the scarlet sky
I gently let go of our clasped hands
The taller I grew
The less we had to talk about
Each day we passed each other by
Neither in your face, growing more wrinkled
Nor in your gaze
Could I notice anything
Reaching to that day’s memories, I remember
You were an unchanging, gentle light
No matter what happened, you always protected me
The light which surrounds everything
Let’s walk on again
Just like that day
Your kindness became a burden
But it was embarrassing, so I didn’t say it
Awkwardly, I rewind the time that had passed
Before I knew it, I became an adult
All the while averting my eyes
Now, I gather the pieces hidden in my heart
Let’s watch it together again, the scarlet sky
The path we walked on with matching paces
The setting sun reminded me of the warmth of your hand
What I want to say to you is ‘thank you’
Now, I think I can finally say it
But I just smiled and embraced you without a word
The light which surrounds everything
Let’s walk on again
Just like that day
