RIP Daveigh Chase
Translation-poem of "Always With Me," written originally by Youmi Kimura
The sands have run out now, I must turn away To working and sleeping and an ordinary day, The streets all are empty as a page without a pen, But my eyes are bright, For I know we’ll meet again.
It seeps into my mind The world I left behind My home in all its details Is around me as before, But it’s me who is different, Changed from inside out, I can’t hold to what I knew Ever since I met you.
Farewell to the lullabies that soothed me before, The past is behind me, and it’s time to shut the door-- Now the future is waiting, it’s dappled dark and bright; The path is worth taking, I’m sure I’ll be alright.
I’ll remember you in summer, I’ll miss you in fall, In winter I’ll dream you as snow piles on the wall, But when water starts to quicken and flows to the sea, I’ll open my heart For you to come back to me.
