I fell in love with him.

But before I could tell him, I knew it would never come true.

The words and regrets that piled up inside me and had nowhere to go

If I had met you before that boy

Would the future have been different if I had expressed my feelings earlier?

With this sadness and pain

I want to sink to the bottom of the sea like this, and dissolve with the bubbles.

Please, please...

.

But even that has become an unfulfilled wish.

Her light was bright, shining, and sweet.

She brightened up this deep, dark place like the bottom of the sea.

.

That's why I swore by the hand she held out to me.

If her heart should ever be shaded. I would be the light to shine on her, and the sword to stand against her.

Strong.

&

Deep.

(from Hitomi Ryoga's memoirs)

.

思い焦がれ

その想いは伝える前に散りました

私の中に積もった言葉と後悔

あの子よりも早く貴方に出会えていたら

もっと早くにこの想いを伝えられていたら未来は違ったのでしょうか

この悲しみと痛みと共に

海の水底へ沈んで

泡と共に溶けてしまえたらどんなに楽か

どうか、このまま…

.

けれどそれすら叶わぬ願いとなってしまった

彼女の光は強く、眩しく、優しく

深く暗い水底であったこの場所すら

明るく照らしだしてしまった

.

だから差し伸べられたその手に誓ったのです

彼女が陰る様な事があれば

私が彼女を照らす光にも

立ち向かう為の剣にもなろうと

強く

強く
