Holy 💩 wow i forgot this platform existed but here i am again, thanks for all the messages and reqs while i was awol🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

Might not post frequently or consistently but I'm hoping I can do a bit more whenever I'm feeling it 🥹

[strawberrykashichigo]

All the sudden, in the middle of the night

A LINE message that reads “When are you open?”

I haven’t seen you in three years

But what’s wrong?

Back then, I thought

We could do anything

Went to the beach together

And took a lot of pictures

But look at me now

I became such a piece of trash

Hurting others and making them cry

But can’t feel anything anymore

I’m not longing for you anymore

But when you’re beside me I keep remembering

It’s because of that perfume you’re wearing

From Dolce & Gabbana

So what should I say

When I see you after all these years?

You got prettier

I can only say it out of flattery now

What’s wrong? All the sudden

Putting cigs in your mouth

I’m not sad, I’m not sad

It’s just that you’ve changed

But look at me now

This empty guy

Lying to people, looked down upon

But I can’t even shed a tear

I’m not longing for you anymore

But when you’re beside me I keep remembering

It’s because of that perfume you’re wearing

From Dolce & Gabbana

Falling in love with you again

It’s not possible but

That perfume you’re wearing from Dolce & Gabbana

Makes me remember

Those times when everything was fun even without having anything

I don’t wish to go back there again

But I think about things when I look into your eyes

I’m not longing for you anymore

But when you’re beside me I keep remembering

It’s because of that perfume you’re wearing

From Dolce & Gabbana

Of course, you’re an amazing person

Enough for me to fall in love with you again

But it’ll be the same thing all over again

And you’ll dump me

[strawberrykashichigo]

The beautiful flower that decorates the night sky Light tightly embraces the voices of the town In our world with no nose, the words I heard were “I love you”

The future I saw in my dream Summer night, you and, two shadows side by side When the last firework rises to the sky and disappears That’ll be the sign

A regular morning and Your regular figure I unintentionally looked away because The words you said I couldn’t forget, no matter how hard I tried Still ringing inside of me

Through the night and beyond the dream To the future we want to reach Is it true? Is that dream for real? I still Get anxious but I guess Just get over “now” to go beyond tomorrow To a place just for us Just a little more Please don’t change Just a little more The words from you I’ll be waiting from that future

No one knows A night just for us Overlaps with the scenery that I’ve been longing for The firework that opens up on the night sky like it ties together now and the future Right here, with you, tracing over that dream, see?

The light that ornates the sky I looked up to shined the profile Yes, for this scenery, I’ve been Yes, for sure, see, the two futures Overlap right now

You and me, in the night Reached this future It’s alright, feelings will come across alright Beyond the dream I saw the other day Past today, beyond tomorrow To you I met again Just a little more Please don’t let it end Just a little more See, the last firework just Embraced us two In this silent word it rang “I love you”

[strawberrykashichigo]

In the time that passes by I think of you The two in the screen that I stare into sombrely Were laughing

The more you don’t want to learn The more you learn more than enough I was engulfed by the days that go by Even then I wanted to see you just one more time

I nodded too much at your words Time flies, leaving one behind The future that should’ve been visible Slipped right through my fingers The fragments of the days gone by And traces of you I still search for today I still reach my hand out to the two of us from that day

I drew the boundary line myself “Reality is” the excuse I used to pretend not to see If I’m like this I won’t be able to see, I just won’t The fresh flowers That sprouted across the line Even though I was actually able to see them

Before I knew it I locked up the doors to my heart that were already so worn out I was the only one there Stripped of beauty, left behind

The back of my eyes burned because of the sky that was too blue I’m going to go back to that view from that day to get You, who told me you loved me

Without showing anyone The emotions I hid with these hands Are still living inside me When I close my eyes The scene comes to life so clearly With the fragments of the days gone by What they project Is the future that was shut away still as a bud Going to redraw them once again

The words you said that day and  The beautiful time and The landscape we shared together Connects the emotions I’d forgotten and the future that was thought to be lost I’m going to continue walking the rest of the days gone by From now on, even if you’re not there When I waved to the two from that day It certainly started moving Towards the future

[strawberrykashichigo]

Like sinking, like melting

To the night that spreads the sky just for the two of us

“Goodbye” that was enough Understood everything that one word The sky with the sun that started going down, and you Overlapped through the fence

From the day we met You stole my heart entirely Looking somewhat ennui You had lonesome eyes

Tick tock, all the time Ringing endlessly in this world No matter how many times I touch those heartless words, that loud voice Even if tears are about to fall If it’s the two of us, we could definitely find conventional happiness

For you who can’t laugh at the troubled days I’ll give the brightest tomorrow I could think of Before it goes down to the night that won’t find the day Grab my hand, come on Even the days you locked up trying to forget I’ll melt it away with the warmth of my hug It won’t be scary, let’s stay together Until the sun rises one day

Something you can only see I hate you staring at that something Like you’re in awe, like you’ve fallen in love I hate that face

Something you want to believe in but can’t There’ll be numerous things like that From now on And every time we hit it, we’ll get mad and cry But even then we’ll definitely Come to an understanding - I believe it

I don’t want to do this anymore, I’m tired of everything You shook off the hand I clumsily held out Don’t want to do this anymore? Tired of everything? I want to say it too

See look, tick tock again This world that won’t stop ringing No matter how many times I prepare, my words won’t come through to you “I want to end this” Lured by your words, when I finally voiced it You finally smiled for the first time

I was becoming unable to laugh at the troubled days You’re beautiful in my eyes Even the tears that overflowed from the dawn that won’t break Melt into your smile

Finding me crying at the unchanging days You softly guided me towards the end Like sinking, like drowning The fog that was ingrained in me cleared up To the days I locked up trying to forget I took your hand that you held out Cool wind swims through the sky and blows through Don’t let go of this hand Us two, leaping into the sky

[strawberrykashichigo]

Did you finally wake up? But why aren’t you looking at me in the eyes? You get mad saying “You’re late”, but even if I am I sped up as much as I could

My heart passed my body

Your hair and eyes hurt me I want to swallow the time we share and never let go What do I say for the first time to that voice That I’ve known since a long time ago?

I’ve started searching for you from your past, past, past life I came here aiming for that clumsy smile

Even if all of you disappeared and became to pieces I won’t get lost, I’ll start from square one again Or maybe from zero; let’s start the universe again

Where do I start my story? The story while you were asleep I came here to talk about millions and lightyears worth of stories, but once I lay my eyes on you

I want to play around and flirt with you that even you don’t even know I want to love your pain that won’t disappear That hand I finally met at the end of several milky ways How do I grab onto it without breaking it?

I’ve started searching for you from your past, past, past life I came here aiming for that noisy voice and tears

Who’s going to stop us on the day before our revolution? I won’t get lost, I’m going to raise a flag on your heart You stole from me the method of giving up

Can we overcome our future, our countless troubles? Didn’t I tell you? If we’re together, we’ll definitely avenge them in laughter I don’t need any other weapon besides you

I’ve started searching for you from your past, past, past life I came here aiming for that clumsy smile

Even if all of you disappeared and became to pieces I won’t get lost, I’ll start from square one again No matter how many lightyears it’ll take, I’ll do it while I hum this song

[strawberrykashichigo]

My heart keeps dancing at my hair that smells different A bit mad at myself My mouth that can’t help but smile; I let it sink softly into my scarf

Since when did I become So patient like this I was always teased for being a crybaby since I was a kid

Keep it a secret What a cruel phrase My scream fades So far from that future that should be so common

I don’t even have to ask to know It won’t even reach that guy Where am I supposed to land? Not knowing, I just cling on The more it wipes away everyday worries It won’t erase the longing that burns my chest I want to change

Because I tend to Push everything aside for later I wanted to protect that least bit of connection

If we keep it a secret　 It’s like it’s not even there Do you get that this feeling Isn’t something so trivial that I could just forget?

By the time day breaks I put on an earnest look Because that’s all I had Still confused with all the new things So much that it wipes away all the boring times That guy that takes so much space in my heart Is just

I didn’t want to learn about this I should’ve done that back then Such a fragile thing but I still wanted to affirm myself Felt like I was doing something bad And I felt so miserable But everything was a first I still wanted to believe them

I don’t even have to ask anyone He won’t give me happiness But it’s not like he didn’t give me anything at all either His cunning lies that wipe away my everyday worries Still make me happy and won’t disappear I want to change

King Gnu - Kasa (Umbrella)

Goodbye; even if you pretend to be high Your state of mind is just pouring rain Where are you going without an umbrella? Even if you get anxious at everything that hits you Can’t do anything about it because “it’s destiny, right?” Nothing’s coming through to you Past this frosted glass anymore

Morning that makes me feel like I could finally get up after the 3rd alarm Rubbing my sleepy eyes Washing my face Pour the coffee down my throat

Can’t fully believe in destiny from the get-go, huh Can’t get satisfied with too much overthinking

I want to talk more I want to get closer No one wants to just watch from afar At any point 

Goodbye; even if you pretend to be high Your state of mind is just pouring rain Where are you going without an umbrella? Even if you get anxious at everything that hits you Can’t do anything about it because “it’s destiny, right?” Nothing’s coming through to you Past this frosted glass anymore

Avoiding the pieces of glass Straight to work, straight back home, falling asleep - that’s everyday life Holding my breath in the packed train The bell that rings and echoes signals the car to start moving Made sure of the hand I’m holding We were definitely here Standing desperately In this restless wave There isn’t a goal It’s not just any race Doesn’t work like the love songs that we hear on the streets

Goodbye; even if you pretend to be high Your state of mind is just pouring rain Where are you going without an umbrella? Even if you get anxious at everything that hits you Can’t do anything about it because “it’s destiny, right?” Nothing’s coming through to you Past this frosted glass anymore

So I still don’t know what love is after all I looked at my undependable back that sputtered

Goodbye; even if you pretend to be high Your state of mind is just pouring rain Where are you going without an umbrella? Even if you get anxious at everything that hits you Can’t do anything about it because “it’s destiny, right?” Nothing’s coming through to you Past this frosted glass anymore

[strawberrykashichigo]

I realized there are so many encounters And landscapes you wouldn’t notice  Driving in a car all the time And passing by everything

The back street that feels like time’s never passed Cafes that delivers the fresh scent of coffee And a girl this pretty takes my orders for me too

I thought I’d just mindlessly walk around And go back home to take a nap, but

The more I walk the more people I meet The more I walk the more discoveries I make This isn’t just a walk But more like a little “one step, one encounter” trip I feel like I could find out What it was that was making me feel like I was missing out on something On this “one step, one encounter” trip

If we aren’t conscious about seeing It’s the same as not seeing at all We haven’t seen anyone or any scenery It must be the same for people’s hearts too

Responding without looking at your face Nodding without really listening Not even asking for the reason for your sigh I must’ve made you feel lonely

Took a sip of the bitter coffee and thought to myself “I’ll invite you next time”

The more I walk the more people I meet The more I walk the more discoveries I make This isn’t just a walk But more like a little “one step, one encounter” trip Let’s go on a hunt together For the thing that was making us feel like we were missing out If you and I walk together, It’s always a perfect day for a “one step, one encounter” trip

It’s a little trip that I’m going to take with you

[strawberrykashichigo]

Good morning world Dragged my dream along and repeated over and over Over the steam that carries the melody of life

The chicken’s chirping The train tracks, the voices of the wind Everything is a monaural melody

The sound of tears dropping Is the sound of rain flicked off of blooming flowers Give this blue sky to the sadness within

To the shadow that blocks The road of never-ending days; here’s an idea Let’s sing a song with the sound of rain Let it ring beyond everything

To those playing the music of never-ending days Let it reach you beyond everything

Good morning midnight It’s a dance floor with futility The landscape behind the smile

The voice that cries alone The voice that shouts under the throat Everything is a landscape that gets laughed at

Live, just keep living Like the flower that was stomped on and crumpled up Let your smile beam; let your middle finger gleam

To the shadow that blocks The road of never-ending days; here’s an idea Let’s sing a song with the sound of rain Let it ring beyond everything

I heard a song from the middle of darkness From your heart That beating is one song Let your hand rest on your chest That’s where it’s ringing

To the shadow that blocks The road of never-ending days; here’s an idea Let us sing a song in the rain Until the day sound stops

To the shadow that blocks The road of never-ending days; here’s an idea Let’s sing a song with the sound of rain Let it ring beyond everything

To those playing the music of never-ending days Let it reach you beyond everything

Treat me like you treat those other girls Don’t know if I’m suitable for you, I can’t be that clever

With my definition of “cute”, I’d probably bore you Lie to me like you kick pebbles; just make me feel at ease

I want to be laughing saying “I don’t know, I don’t know” I want to play dumb saying “I can’t tell, I can’t tell”

But to be true Go away, go away, the “me” that loves you Just go away at this point Disappear, disappear, it has to be you The “me” that I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate

See, you easily ask if I’m okay. It’s such a shallow kind of kindness but I just want to hear your voice; I’m so bad Ugh I can’t explain it, I won’t say I want you to understand  I just want to see you today too; go away, this “me”

Look at me with a pink filter on The water that I gulped down connects to my middle

I won’t ask anything myself, I don’t want to see that hole-filled face If it makes you feel better, I’ll swallow down common lies too

I want to dance saying “I don’t know, I don’t know” I want to frolic saying “I can’t tell, I can’t tell”

But to be true Go away, go away, the “me” that loves you Just go away at this point Disappear, disappear, it has to be you The “me” that I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate

See, you’re the only one who notices my hums I can’t stop the slight bit of hope; I’m so bad Ugh even if you turn away stay close by, be kind the way you want to be I just want to see you today too; go away, this “me”

But to be true Go away, go away, the “me” that loves you Just go away at this point Disappear, disappear, it has to be you The “me” that I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate

See, you easily ask if I’m okay. It’s such a shallow kind of kindness but I just want to hear your voice; I’m so bad Ugh I can’t explain it, I won’t say I want you to understand I just want to see you today too; go away, this “me”

Tell me what makes me so different from those other girls I actually can’t really think of myself without you

地平線の下を漂っている 体は弱いけど頑張ってるよ 向こう岸に辿り着くために、でもまだまだだね 僕には君がもっと必要だ 波が来る度に僕は沈む 君との約束を果たすためにしがみつく 君は僕が強いと言う、僕は君のためにあると しがみつく

君は僕の錨 だから僕を落ち着かせて、今安定させて 君は僕の錨 君が僕の足を地につけるんだ 怒り狂う海の中でも君は壊れない 嵐の波の最中でも 君は僕の錨 だから僕を落ち着かせて、今安定させて ここに来て僕を落ち着かせて、今安定させて

僕が探すのに疲れたとき 僕が隠し続けてきた恐怖全て 君は僕に息吹を与え、休んでと言ってくれた 君は逃げなかった 君が僕の名前を呼んでいるのが聞こえる 僕自身の恥辱から引き上げてくれる もう僕は違うんだ 何とでも立ち向かえるから、雨を降らせ

君は僕の錨 だから僕を落ち着かせて、今安定させて 君は僕の錨 君が僕の足を地につけるんだ 怒り狂う海の中でも君は壊れない 嵐の波の最中でも 君は僕の錨 だから僕を落ち着かせて、今安定させて ここに来て僕を落ち着かせて、今安定させて

手離すな 一人では嫌なんだ 手離さないでくれ 一人だと溺れてしまうとわかるから

君は僕の錨 だから僕を落ち着かせて、今安定させて（一人じゃ嫌なんだ） 君は僕の錨 君が僕の足を地につけるんだ（溺れたくない） 怒り狂う海の中でも君は壊れない 嵐の波の最中でも 君は僕の錨 だから僕を落ち着かせて、今安定させて ここに来て僕を落ち着かせて、今安定させて
