Separate Ways

We've taken the long way around, walking side by side
Blown by the evening breeze, looking towards tomorrow

No matter what happens, I thought I could handle it
Back then, in that place, until time piled up
A world I didn’t know existed

The seasons keep turning, filling my heart with unspoken words
Your smile always pushes me forward
The two of us buried in the past, the words we exchanged
Still shine bright, I can feel you close by

Even if I stretch, I can’t see the far-off exit
Caught in the pouring rain, I stood there frozen

If I reach out, warmth is right there
Even on dark paths, an unwavering light shines at my feet

Feelings I can’t fully express overflow in my chest
Tears falling down my cheeks turn into strength
Even if we’re apart, looking up at the night sky alone
It’s still gentle, I can feel you close by

When I close my eyes, I can clearly hear your voice
Those fleeting days continue on
The first step I take is guided by the endless courage you gave me

The seasons keep turning, filling my heart with unspoken words
One day, I’ll understand the reason for the tears that fell
The words I wanted to say, buried in the past
Still shine bright, I can feel you close by.
