Sweet is the sleep, the timeless oblivion,
The precious hours, when in a dream,
You heard my heart's wish and held my hand.

The sun-filled day steals the slumber.
As the church bells toll and wake me up,
I cry as this image of you fades away.

Why, what are these flowing tears?
You never see me, and today,
You will be cold to me again, right?

Yet, even as I put my make up on,
I still wonder, why, at the thought of seeing you,
This silly smile creeps on my face.

The way to school was never shorter,
And even as I open the door, the wish was
To hear at least "Hello" from you.

Looking at the clock, I dearly wish
For seven o'clock to fade away to nine
Just so I could finally sit next to you.

Exam time, and we sit together.
You ask me, what the answer to number three was,
And why do I act like a fool, as I do nothing but smile?

Calling me "stupid", you turn to someone else.
It's okay, though I feel sorry for you,
As right now, "I love you" is the only thing I know.

Class ends, and as we all head home,
Your cold profile strikes me from a distance and I wonder,
Will I be your captive tomorrow too?

Why is it, one day, when you're absent,
Despite your cold eyes and detestation,
My heart can only feel "I miss you"?

Yet I never want to fall out of love,
And each day, that it almost disappears,
It just becomes clearer that I never want to lose the feeling

Aside from heaven, can anyone else answer?
Why, each time the feeling starts to fade
The wish is "Let me love him one more time?"

"Please don't take this feeling away. "
Because from the first time I saw you,
"I love you" became my whole entirety and existence.

Night time falls, and I smile
This time again, when I fall asleep
With a little hope...I can hold your hand... right?
