In the darkness, which could easily be wiped away (be forgotten) tomorrow, i saw something
The tears running down on the cheeks i softly touched
The color (sense) of ticking time
You were there
 

The wind of that time is a piece of you i put in my heart
I want, i want to stay alive
In the days i spent with you
I’m walking to one side
In our paths, we both were seeing different things
Our pieces fit all wrong
It did not fit, we could not find

In the darkness, which could easily be wiped away (be forgotten) tomorrow, i saw something
The tears running down on the cheeks i softly touched
The color of ticking time
You were there

If i chose another future on that day…?
I asked myself reflected in a window swaying softly
I’m picking up pieces
Even if it’s silly, if we could go back, i would never let you go
You broke my confusion
I hope to keep from turning my back to the same dream

Even if it’s faint light
If it’s the future lying ahead
Overcoming the endless sorrow, then
I wanna believe the present
And those days i dreamed with you

The wind of unchanged memory that i almost forgot
Is carrying my wish that vanished

In the darkness, which could easily be wiped away (be forgotten) tomorrow, i saw something
The tears running down on the cheeks i touched softly
The color of ticking time
I want to believe the present
And those days i dreamed with you

I could hear the audience clapping as the song ended. As expected, I sung with emotion, with her on my mind.

“Jonghyun! Good jo- Yah! Where are you going?” I could hear Yonghwa hyung saying as he saw me quickly packing up my guitar and bolted out of the door right after the performance. Minhyuk was there and I know he would tell him what it was about.

“Hyung, it’s been two years already.”

The streets of Japan were beautiful as always, activity of the people everywhere as they attended to their own businesses. It was spring, her favourite time of the year. I remember when she always wanted to see the cherry blossoms during this time, always hoping to see that rare event when they would be in full-bloom.

It’s been two years already… I shook my head to get myself together. Pabo Jonghyun, I would always tell myself, partly to regain my concentration and mostly to remind myself of who I am to her.

My phone rang as I was driving and it broke that train of thought. Just in time since tears were already starting to form. I’m stupid for singing These Days as the last song. But who am I kidding, the song fit, especially today. I want to believe in the present but not forgetting those days I dreamed with the girl I loved.

“Jonghyun here.” I said as I answered and was automatically put on speaker.

“Hey bro, are you coming over today?” it was Ichi. Over the two years since that event he’s been really supportive to me. I needed a friend who understood the situation I was in to talk to too.

“Yeah I’m actually on my way right now.”

“I heard the cherry blossoms are starting to bloom,” there was silence for a while. I knew we were both thinking of the same person.

“Yes, they’re beautiful. I wish she could see them..” ‘…with me’ I silently added after I hung up.

After a 20-minute drive I arrived at the house. Their house. I stepped out of the car and looked up, sighing. I knew she wouldn’t be home. I missed her so much.

I went in since I already knew the combination and took off my shoes, “Hyung, I’m here.” I didn’t wait for an answer and proceeded to the living room.

Pictures preserve memories and there were a lot of hers. She was beautiful, she had always been. I traced my fingers on the piano keys while looking at the pictures perched on top. Pictures of me and her. When we were young, when she was at the hospital when I always visited…

“Well don’t you look swell, Burning.”

I turned around and there was Ichi, smiling sadly at me.

“I don’t know how to feel today Jonghyun. Should I be happy or sad?”

“It’s really up to you, Hyung.”

He merely shrugged and disappeared to his room. I continued to lose myself in the memories the pictures brought. They made me happy, distracted. After a while Ichi came back and pulled me out of my trip down memory lane.

"Time to go."

We both got in the car and didn't exchange words for the whole drive on the way to the cemetery.

Cliffhanger! Yes, what is this event that happened. See, we fast-forwarded to two years after something happened and waaah why are they going to the cemetery O_O 

Mwahahahaha *evil laugh*
