I know my efforts were futile
When talk about space and galaxies
And about aliens invade the earth
When you smiled with that grown up face
"What a well made story"
Right there I realized
The cheeky boy I once knew was no longer there

"Hey let's watch the stars today"
You said way back then
But now it has become a distant memory
You had change like seasons do
As autumn turns into winter
And flowers bloomed for spring
But why is it that I’m the only one who didn’t?

"Please don't walk too fast'’
That’s what I want to say
But your back, I never noticed it had grown so wide
You are not a child anymore

Once you graduate you'll leave the town
That's what I’ve heard
Time really flies fast and it didn’t wait for us
But still I believe, in this sliver hope
If it was really a well made story
Then maybe all were just lies

As I run to the hill we always go
To watch the stars and constellation we know
I still even know their stories and myth
When once you forced me to read
The book about space you like so much
Like how Ursa Major was once a woman Zeus fell in love

But it was all nothing but a story made up
When I didn’t find you there
And that hope, cold wind blew it away
Alone, I lay down at the sheet of misty grass
Gazing at the starlit sky above
And pray to the coming shooting star
"May you find happiness on the path you take"
Perhaps this is really it.
Finally, our childhood ends
Inspired from a vocaloid song~
