Maybe the melody and the composition wasn't my favorite, but this.. this is just like how I fell head over heels for fated. Every little thing about it just HITS me and, reading the words, translating bits that I can and seeing the graciously provided (and very pretty!) translation, I feel myself fighting back tears... It's like she's singing something I'm FEELING right now, word for word, picking every thought out of my head and making into into a song. It's eerie. ;_;
I know right? Something about these lyrics, despite still having that distinct 'Ayu touch', is really special. I can't quite put my finger on it but I sat there stunned after reading them. They are very simple but really powerful, and I think they take a few reads to really see the beauty in the words she chose.

I'm looking forward to seeing other translations to get a better grasp on their meaning.
