Houseki – Goto Maki

Houseki (宝石) – Jewel

from One album.

—–

Distance that outruns time
I ran that distance in my dream
Pain the colour of tears
Dress up, and pretend

Even on days of fragile gentleness
I’ll colour myself too, so
I want to encase it as it is
This nameless jewel

Being loved, even exchanging love
If this glittering world
Can shine like the rainbow
Then it can stay wet

Flexible, transparent hope
Cannot be destroyed by anyone
In that full one second as the rain pours
I want to be with you

Leading, repeating stories
Every single one is radiant, but
Just like a wish from the distant past
They appear so beautiful

Reaching out and touching, but
The light slips away
And continues to shine on the road called today
Which will never come again

Becoming ash, and with yearning
Feelings are polished
If I can, until I burn out
I wish to be me
