Sayonara Memories - Goodbye Memories

Oh blooming cherry blossoms on this hill road
I have to say goodbye to you.

Those days where we were crying and laughing
Seemed like only yesterday.
It feels like this road we’ve walked on
Is leading towards the future

You were happy that
Every year the blossoms bloomed earlier than expected
I smiled and said ‘it seems like it’.
Just a little while more
And we can’t return to this place anymore

If I were to open my heart to you
And tell you of those indescribable feelings
Would I be able to do it?
For a beginning, there is always an ending.
One day the path we took to go home
Will be a precious memory to me.
I won’t forget you,
Those goodbye memories.

When spring comes, each of these roads…

I prayed for a day where we would meet again
As I silently mumbled ‘Goodbye’.
That day the sky was blue like always
So I cried a little

I purposely took the longer way home
Just to be with you a little bit longer…
I jokingly said ‘Oops, we went the wrong way’
You smiled so radiantly and looked away

I’ll hold those indescribable feelings
Of moments on this road we’ve walked on in my heart
Do you remember that time when you
Called out my name, and
We walked home together in the evening
I won’t forget you,
Those goodbye memories.

I am grateful to have met you

I wonder how much everything had changed
Since we last saw the cherry blossoms in full bloom

I took a glance at you and thought to myself
‘It seems I’ve become to like this person’
But why? I don't get it at all..!
Since then each and every day had been fun
But at the same time it had been painful

I’m sorry I can’t say it any better
But I… about you.. how do I say it…
I can’t say goodbye to you now
I don’t want to stay as just friends
I thought we could back then.
I…you… about you…
Since long ago… I’ve always…
…Liked you.

Ah I’ve finally said it!
