I have a lot of things that you’ve given to me And now I’m counting them one by one
1, 2, 3, and I start to tear up And by the 131st, tears begin to brim my eyelids
I’ve forgotten how to cry, and yet there’s something here Something telling me that if I close my eyes, the tears might just escape
I will die for you, and I will live for you I will die for you, there is nothing more that I could really say to you
Exactly one day before she dies, god, please let me stop breathing first That’s one of my life’s wishes
On that last day that you live I, from the sky, will be guessing what color this world will be dyed in
I wonder if you reach your hand out from the moon, in the middle of this place and heaven Could you see the scenery from there? even if I closed my eyes, I feel like I might peak
I will die for you and I will live for you I will die for you well you never ever told me to
What should we do in the next world? Stuff like being reborn and by chance meeting each other again would be really bothersome, so let’s not make it that way Let’s just be with one mortal life. Yes, and live without fighting, without thinking about who would be the first to die
And let’s celebrate the birthdays of our mutual friends together We’ll meet up and prepare the short and chocolate for the cake; though those don’t really have that much of a significance When you happy and smile twice as much, wouldn’t that also leave twice the amount of wrinkles? This is my second wish, the second wish in my entire life
I will die for you and I will live for you I will cry for you because you’re the told me how
If, someday, a life is born from the two of us If that time does come, I beg that somehow I will be able to meet a baby just like you I realize it’s impossible for her to have 100% the same genes as you But I hope they can be handed down, that she has as little as possible traits in common with me And every night, right before we go to sleep, we can hold each other’s hands
When I say things like this, you always say the opposite That you want the baby to be like me I don’t want that at all; forcefully speaking, the one and only thing That I want to be placed in my baby’s chromosomes from me Is this happy and lucky fortune that I’ve received
