The sky lit up that day Blinking occassionally The slightly delayed thunder rang out next to me
Leaning our bodies against the wall of the school We anxiously considered the coming weather A raindrop mixed in with the wind \"We can't go home now\" you said
My shirt soaked with sweat And it became hard to breathe Without a doubt, it was love
Our youth was awkward All we could do was stare at each other It was hard enough just to breathe the same air I hid it deep in a corner of my heart So I wouldn't realize \"Vita sexualis\" is about unrequited love*
The pelting rain had me at my wit's end I was looking at the muddy ground The ash-colored sky was filled with lightning It lit up your profile
What should I say? This taciturn path Continued all the way to my heart
Our youth was awkward All we could do was stare at each other It was hard enough just to breathe the same air I softly covered my ears And refused to walk the path of an adult I lost my nerve to the thing I couldn't spit out
The sky lit up that day Blinking occassionally The slightly delayed thunder rang out next to me Like being mocked by God I was afraid of this invisible love I'll remember that lonely 1994
*Note: \"Vita sexualis\" is a famous novel by Mori Oogai.
