めいにち 　*meinichi (Day you passed)

僕が今日うっかり死んでしまったら
君にはもう見えないんだな
でもやっとあの子にはまた会えるんだ
あっちでは元気にやってるかな

当たり前の毎日が消えて
また桜も咲いてるらしい
息もできなくなってしまったのに
僕は飽きずに生きてるらしい

咥えたタバコ　君の嫌いな
白い煙は届いてるかな
僕は背中を　追いかける事も
許されなかったけど
まだ諦めきれない僕を　許して
 
あの日隣で　夢見た夜 も
今のなってはおとぎ話で
君の匂いも　握った手の
小ささも温もりも

叫んだ声も　優しい顔も
最期の重ささえも
忘れ始めてる僕を　連れて行って

If I were to accidentally die today,
you wouldn’t see me anymore, would you?
But maybe, I’d finally get to see her again.
I wonder if she’s doing well over there.

The ordinary days have disappeared,
and I hear the cherry blossoms are blooming again.
Even though I’ve lost the ability to breathe,
it seems I’m still here, endlessly alive.

The cigarette in my mouth—you hated that white smoke.
I wonder if it’s reaching you.
Though I wasn’t even allowed
To chase after your back
Please forgive me for still not being able to let go

That night, dreaming by your side,
has now turned into a fairytale.
Your scent, the hands I held—
the smallness and warmth too.

The voice you shouted, your gentle face,
even the weight of your final moment…
Take me with you,
as I begin to forget it all.
