A/N The attached video is in Japanese but i have the English lyrics written in here. Enjoy!

Voices echo down tiled hallways. Bittersweet smells waft through doors. Brittle sheet music crackles beneath delicate fingers. Pain is visible in the smiles of friends. Yet... nary a taste of love.

A rainbow is never formed by chance
The blossoming colors always dance in a whirlwind of a thousand hues

Under that brilliant crimson sky, I was falling so hard
And I knew that my world was you

I know that its foolish to base an entire existence on one simple truth. But what else am I supposed to do? If the whole world was full of lies but one thing seemed honest, wouldn't you grasp onto it as well? But now... my grip is slipping. The blood dripping from my torn fingers is now a reminder of life's pain.

Its not a moment you can capture on film

But even so Ill never let it disappear

You are a song and every last note is carved into my heart

I know I will never forget those times. My heart bleeds each memory throughout my body and soul. But will she even recognize my voice?

This is our rainbow-colored symphony

Every day, a symphony

A beautiful sound Ive never known

A melody no one can play alone

Crying, laughing from hello

DO-RE-MI-FA-SOL

All of our emotions form this symphony

The least you could do is recognize the infinitely repeating chorus. My cries and screams so desperate I'm practically singing.

I breathe a sigh and watch the sky as it collects this little hopeless puff of air

There are a thousand cherry blossom petals twirling to a silent song up there

I spin around and around and around and around and then spin right around

Im waiting patiently for spring but I dont know if I can bear it without you around

I know now that there are no fruitful flowers in this life. Each season seems so far away, but they've already passed.

Dont you know you have a little magic in you?

It wipes away the monochrome hue

And fills this world with color when you laugh beside me

Hey, lets go and make the most of today

Our time is precious, they say, and I wanna spend it all with you

You gave me a glimpse at your colorful spirit and then ran away. Just as the world began to take on color you turned the grayscale back on and said good bye.

You were the one, you were always the one - You were the light in my life

When youre with me, we can take on the night, shining like stars in the sky

Dont hide away - Never hold back your tears, trying so hard to be strong

Only for you Id gather the stars, cause with you is where they belong

Humans shine bright as stars, but they never last nearly as long. I thought we would glow forever and yet... You're already burning out.

After the storm has passed, I looked up to sky

That brilliant blue, a bittersweet goodbye

I remember how we laughed – It always makes me smile

I should have smiled more. I should have cherished all those mundane lunches and dreary classes. Happy or sad, maybe both, however contrary.

In a single beat, both our paths began to meet

So Ill take a vow, here and now, as were shining bright

We are burning out, light a torch so no one pouts. Our paths crossed but we still aren't parallel

Among a million stars, a single love is born

A burning light, to last the test of time

When the winter turns to spring and today, into the next

Its a symphony of each and every dream

One last hug so I may remember this love? Not platonic nor is it romantic.

We were walking side by side, just a single step away

I wish I could recall what had made us laugh at all

How I miss the magic of those ordinary days

Even now, its still all so clear and your voice is the music I hear

You are still the orange of the sunset in my dreams

Maybe if I had stepped closer, or walked at a different pace. Maybe then...you could have stayed.

I just really wish that you were here,

Cause inside my dreams its not enough

To hear your voice once more, thats all Im asking for

Well pick up our duet, cause it cant be finished yet

I just really wish that you were here to compose another memory

I promise when I find Im missing you, Ill play

This is the last verse and you don't even know it. I know you want to listen, but you will never be able to hear. We were playing together. We were walking together. We were ... Simply together. I know you can't tell, but this is us. And this is what I'm saying. No matter what, you will always play on in my heart.

... our symphony
