Once, long ago, I lost something precious to me

I went through... something very painful in the past

Something very, very painful

Even now, my heart hurts

Even now, the pain still lingers... from when I lost what was precious to me

But I am still searching

Still searching for that thing most precious

I am me

I am one of them

Because I am me

Because I am not a human

Even so

Because it is so

Someone who loves me because I am me

Someone who I'll love because she is her

The "someone just for me"

I know that...

I am you...

And you are me.

That's how I know that...

Inside of me, I'm one full person

I am happy when that person smiles

I am happy when that person is near

Yes

I am happy... when that person is happy

That person is special, different from other people

"You found it!"

"The thing that makes that person special..."

"That makes her different from the rest...is that she is her"

I found her

The person that's precious and special...

The "someone just for me"

I hope that person finds them

The things that she can't do because she is her

The things that she can do because she is her

I have found her

I fell in love with her because she is that person

Hopefully, she will find them

The things that I can do because I am me

The things that I can't do because I am me

That person will find them

And then... hopefully she will love me... because I am me

Out of all people and all of them... I want her to find me

And I want her to love me

This feeling inside of me... is very soft

But sometimes it hurts

I become full of this feeling when I think of that person

"Do you feel that way about everybody?"

No, only when I think of that person

"What happens when you're with that person?"

"I get warm... like I'm glowing inside"

"What if you can't be together?"

"It hurts"

"It really, really hurts right here"

"Like you're about to die?"

"We can't die"

"We can't die because we're not alive"

"Perhaps not"

"But it feels the same as if we could"

"Because we are them"

"I hope we can be happy someday..."

"When you find your 'someone just for you'"

"But..."

"If we don't become happy..."

"If the 'someone just for me' knows all the things I can and cannot do because I am me... and she still doesn't choose me, then..."

Then...

I will have to decide what to do... about you...

And about us

"What is wrong?"

"It hurts"

"If the 'someone just for me' does not choose me..."

"I'm afraid the hurt right here will be so bad... that I'll stop working"

"It's a powerful feeling, isn't it?"

"A hurt so strong it can cause you to break"

There are no people in this city... but through their windows, everyone looks happy inside

Are these people truly happy?

Are they truly happy?

I am surrounded by people who stay inside with them...

But I am all alone as I walk through this city with no people

All I want right now, more than anything else... is to be with her.

The glow inside is brightest when that person is near...

And the pain inside hurts more when he is away

I am happiest when I think about that person...

I am saddest when I think about that person

That person makes all my feelings more intense

That must be what love is

So please... let the person that I love... be the "someone just for me"
