Sakura

Pacts we have made, while planning for the day

That we might get a chance to meet again

I'll wave and nod, while parting down these city streets

that Cherry Blossoms hedge

Though we have forged through good times and through bad

You always kept a smile on your face

And when this world would try to drag me to the ground

I find strength in those days

And through these misty depths

I faintly still detect

That melody we used to hold so dear

Sakura, Sakura

Full and clinging to the trees

Knowing soon their fate is near, but holding

strong throughout the breeze

So, farewell my old friend, it's time for us to go

With unchanging hearts we'll both continue on… from here

Now it's as though, I have the strength to say,

the words that I have longed to speak to you,

From here on out, I wish you nothing but the best in everything you do.

This bustling cityscape,

that's changing every day,

feels as though it's rushing us along

Sakura, Sakura

Slowly drifting from the boughs

With the hopes that they'll be born again, while floating to the ground

Please don't shed any tears, but it's time for us to part

Show me again that simple smile of yours

Sakura Sakura

Lightly dancing through the sky

Bathing in the ever present glowing of these city lights

So farewell my old confidante, Let's meet like this again,

on the same paths where Cherry Blossoms fall…once more.
