the reason we had a dog
was that little girl wanted to make-believe
that it was a reincarnated spirit,
the oversized slip-on sandals, sunburnt a dark red
and mom splashes water on my gaudy bikini.
before I knew it, I'd gotten used to the spiral staircase
just as it was back then, six lumps of cloud
girl who accidentally dropped her first love at Kototoi Bridge
eventhough she wanted to fill in the blank map
take a look back with an adult face,
the sweat of things that never paid off,
has at last, at long last bloomed as a daphne flower
glad to be born
rolling by, just a momentary blue *1
who was it again, who'll float by
happiness and loneliness go hand in hand
I contemplate on the way back this lonely path home
in substitute for a father to watch over me,
yesterday, torn away page by page,
by you
you're used to me being so sensitive, but, but
you never know when you'll get what you want
I don't really need anything good.
but I wouldn't mind it
rolling by, just a momentary blue
who was it again, who'll float by
happiness and loneliness go hand in hand
I contemplate on the way back this lonely path home
Between me and you, is only blue
How can I not think of, who is the one that is floating away?
In order for happiness and sadness to face each other
What is still missing? I contemplate, on the road home
