Itteki : Hitomi Shimpei

yuu [*]

even if I'm drowning in sorrow for just a moment, I'll make my hand into a hard fist
and when the murk of the water becomes thick, the important promise written on that memo
is stained in the blink of an eye.
even the letters are soaked, so no one will be able to read them

even if my identity is scattered, I'll make my hand into a hard fist
occasionally, I've been violated flattered compared abused conquered
I take it with envy
even so, when I can catch my bearings, I make myself read that memo over and over again

"Stop walking, and wait at-any-price
I know I'll catch up to you
from there, I'll show you the way
if the darkness takes your vision away
I'll burn a little light
if the light burns your eyes,
I'll shine darkness on you
As well as those words you've longed for
at that time"

[*] yuu means to dress up hair or to tie up hair
