untitled ~for her~ ...story 2 still makes me cry. Couple of notes for this one.
Quote:
I'm okay now, I made it through
That's what I tell myself*
We've reached the day
that marks the passing of five years
since that day
Even now, my wish
hasn't changed
Once more, just once more
I want to see you
To be as we were
holding hands as we walked
laughing and crying at trivial things
I wonder how I must look to you now
As you look down on me
from the place you chose to be
I pray
there's not a single thing making you suffer
in the place where you chose to be
Until that day, someday
Wait for me
The traces of you haven't disappeared
Every day is full of stories that I want you to hear
They pile up incessantly
Someday, when the time comes for us to meet again
Can I hold you so tightly that you'll hate me?**
*顔をする in Japanese literally means to 'make a face' but in this case, it's like she's putting on a mask. She tells herself (and everyone else) that she's fine 5 years after the death of her friend, but inside she's still hurting.
**Thanks tenshi for your divine inspiration~

It's been five years since the release of the original untitled and thus 5 years since the passing of her friend, as referenced in the lyrics. Ayu also makes very explicit references to the original song through her lyrical choices, especially in the italicized stanza above (which is veeeeery similar to the opening lyrics of the original).
