Promise

The morning peeks in through the window, the same as always
My treasure is what gets me through the day again today

It has no shape, no one can touch it, I don't want to lose it
It binds my precious love

I haven't forgotten your smile or the promise you made that day
It's always echoing within my heart
Don't disappear as if sleeping, oh pieces of my memories
Even if you break, stay here forever and ever

We had our backs to the sunset and just kept walking
Our long shadows are still burned into my eyes

Time's passage is worn into
My shoes, as little by little they get older

A bit embarrassed, we said to each other, "I can protect you"
Just the fact that it's not a lie makes me happy
The seasons pass and I walk alone, a bit lonely
But even so that promise is alive

Someday we'll meet again
The light is shining

I haven't forgotten your smile or the promise you made that day
It's always echoing within my heart
Don't disappear as if sleeping, oh pieces of my memories
Even if you break, stay here forever and ever

And now the days pass and I draw nearer to adulthood
Even if on the way I hug my knees and hang my head
The one thing that saves me and makes me look up to tomorrow's sky
Is that unchanging promise

Someday we'll meet again
The light is shining
I want to send you
The same words from that time
