Even if this rain lets up
I'll walk onward, never forgetting
The me of today who looked up
At the first drop
Made out of transparent umbrellas
A world just for one
(All obstructed and hidden)
That I had secretly escaped to
The sounds that spilled out
From the sky beyond the vinyl reverberated
(Signals that bounced off)
And melted into my welled-up heart
I'll go along
With this sobbing sky
(The squall overflowed,
dyeing the asphalt)
Rather than waiting
For it to pass by,
I want to keep gazing upon it
This colorless yet present thing
When this rain lets up,
As if nothing ever happened,
The flowers of umbrellas gradually disappear
I can't fold up my heart quite so easily
So I want to collect the moments that pass by
Aah, every single drop
Endlessly sliding down the umbrella
The drops sway and draw (patterns)
Every time they shook from the wind
They reflected the dullness of today
That resembles my unsettled self
I'll go along with this ever-wavering sky
(I want to keep looking out at the vague colors that show through)
Even a drifting cloud keeps on going
Without knowing what lies 1 second away
Into the tomorrow that dulls and fogs over from my anxiety as well
Even if this rain lets up
I don't want to forget, so
I want to jot down what happened just now
From that sky I can't reach with these hands
Each drop reached me
As if they were all connected in a dotted-line thread
Now, this rain is letting up
The final drop
Gleamed with a speck of light and reflected me
The road won't dry up just yet
I inhaled the damp breeze
I'll take it with me
Aah, that single drop
