Don't leave me

In this season when the cherry blossoms haven’t yet bloomed I curiously fell in love with you
We were close by as we straddled the friend line
I wonder if our relationship was the kind where I couldn’t embrace this kind of feeling of love
I’m sorry I couldn’t help but think you loved me such that we can’t even be friends anymore

I noticed it on that day. That was when the curtain fell for the painful days
I came to know both pain and a loneliness that can’t be conveyed as those kinds of days piled up
But along with the pain this deeply penetrating love certainly
spread warmly across me and simultaneously strangled me

Don’t leave me baby Don’t leave me
Don’t need the reason I don’t need the reason
Don’t leave me baby I need you baby
Don’t need the reason I love you baby

Through this and that the day passes, everyone is in a hurry to advance forward
In the midst of wandering between dreams and reality I still can’t see ahead
Surely this is my regrets on that day, am I still caught up on them as I thought?
This feeling that I couldn’t convey just melted into the tears from our separation

Even though today is the last, my weak self couldn’t approach you
I just gazed at you with all my might from the shade of the cherry tree as the pedals fluttered down
Being reluctant to leave friends, you slightly rocked your shoulders and cried; your appearance from behind as you left was fleeting and my chest suddenly tightened and became hot...

Go on and become an adult, love a lot from now on
Eventually have a family
You'll go on and continue forward

Don’t leave me baby Don’t leave me
Don’t need the reason I don’t need the reason
Don’t leave me baby I need you baby
Don’t need the reason I love you baby

Don’t leave me baby...
Don’t forget the days we spent together
I love you baby
