shinkai is brilliant.



How much must I lose, to have my heart forgiven?
How painful must it be, to meet you once more?

One more time, I hope the seasons do not change,
One more time, the times we wasted together.

Whenever things got complicated, I was the first to despair,
Your self-absorbed personality was what I fell in love with.

One more chance, my memories hold my feet down,
One more chance, I don't know where to go anymore.

I'm always looking for you, because you must be somewhere,
In that house over the streets, over the window at the alleyway, even though you can't possibly be here.

If something were to grant me a wish, it would be to take me by your side,
There is nothing I can't do for you, I'll embrace you even at the cost of everything.

If I wanted to hide this loneliness,
Any person would have sufficed, but...

It's a night when a star could fall off,
So I can't deceive myself.

One more time, I hope the seasons do not change,
One more time, the times we wasted together.

I'm always looking for you, because you must be somewhere,
At the crossroads, in my dreams,
Even though you can't possibly be here.

If something were to grant me a wish, it would be for you to see me again,
A new morning, from then I couldn't even mutter "I like you" again,
Memories of summer returns to me, with the absence of that (heart)beat.

I'm always looking for you, because you must be somewhere,
On dawn streets of Sakuragi-chou,
Even though you can't possibly be here,

If something were to grant me a wish, it would be to take me by your side,
There is nothing I can't do for you,
I'll embrace you even at the cost of everything.

I'm always looking for you, because at least a part of you must be somewhere,
On a newspaper at a tourist agency office,
Even though you can't possibly be here,

If something were to grant me a wish, it would be for you to see me again,
A new morning, from then I couldn't even mutter "I like you" again,

I'll always look for you, because your smile must be somewhere,
At traffic stops waiting to accelerate forward,
Even though you can't possibly be here.

If I could be born again, I want to be born by your side no matter how many times,
There is nothing that I want anymore,
There is nothing that I want beside you...
