This Note.

Memory Seishun no Hikari
(Memory: The Light of Youth)
Morning Musume


The memo's a bit long
But please read it all the way to the end
I didn't realize how lonesome
It is to be alone

That night when everything broke apart
I cried with all my heart... Good bye
Exhausted by love,
I'll lock up this room and return the key to you

Goodbye (Just breaking my heart)
I don't want to see that face ever again
Goodbye (Just breaking my heart)
The one I loved

You can crumple the memo and throw it away
But please read it all the way to the end
I've never been held
that affectionately before

I'm leaving my memories behind, but
Don't love your new girlfriend
In the same way you loved me
Goodbye... goodbye... goodbye...

With a little bit of chance
We really did last a long time, didn't we?
Just in the time we spent fooling around
I found myself falling in love with you

Goodbye (Just breaking my heart)
We won't meet ever again
Goodbye (Just breaking my heart)
To our room

The memo's a bit long
But please read all the way to the end
I didn't realize how lonesome
It is to be alone

Memories, my memories
It's hard to part with them
I learned that from loving you
Goodbye... goodbye... goodbye...

You can crumple the memo and throw it away
But please read it all the way to the end
I've never been held
that affectionately before

I'm leaving my memories behind, but
Don't love your new girlfriend
In the same way you loved me
Goodbye... goodbye... goodbye...

This note is a bit long, but please read it to the end.

Our room. You left it a long time ago, but you'd come back every once in a while. Sometimes I think it was just because you felt sorry for me, but I pushed that & similar doubts out of my head. Come to think of it, everything else mattered so little when I'm with you. Not 'was', but 'am'.

Maybe you're coming home to someone else now. I'd be lying if I said that didn't bother me. Like right now. I'm not even sure of that, yet I'm consumed with jealousy like you wouldn't believe. But I choose silence. I don't want my insecurities to destroy an already fragile friendship.

You'll keep coming back to me, but you will never stay for good.

Someday, I'll grow tired of denying it & just let that reality sink in.

And someday, I'll finally be able to say goodbye to our room & return the key to you.




I'm glad you finished my note, even if it's a bit long.
