I don't remember whether
The weather was better
Or the worse you've seen
We had been calling since an hour ago
I don't remember why
But I wanted you to sing
The request was sudden
A song you loved sprang to mind
"Hey, can you sing for me?"
The line went cold
Then your meek voice spoke
"What song should I do?"
"How about Sarishinohara?"
I felt your breath as you commence
The words flowed so bittersweetly fulfilled
I'm left stunned with a gentle gaze to the world
I could tell you were nervous
But that made it all so gorgeous
You told me before you sang
That you were hiding
In your small bathroom
I could only imagine you
Being as quiet as possible
When you would forget the lyrics
I would sing the parts
I'm sure people would stare at me
Just a random girl singing to herself
But it would never matter to me
Cause it was only us
Singing to escape reality
We used to this so frequently, it would make waiting for the bus at that station so much more bearable. When your voice left the call I left so deafly. I would anything for you to sing me a song once more. It meant the world to me.
