You smiled kindly

This song is really meaningful... To me, at least... I've been listening to it for yearz and still I've not grown bored of it... It's a Japanese song, but I've translated it by myself... =D

You smiled kindly

tooi kioku kasuka ni kaoru

I can still remember faintly

yasashiku kimi wa hohoende ita

when you smiled kindly.

I depended on you. It was tiring, wasn’t it?

I look at you more than anyone

My thoughts of you will never change

Your warmth, your gentle hands

I will never forget them.

I’m starting to get used to your absence

tama ni aeru to kotoba ga denakute

If we are to meet, no words will be spoken

Even in silence, we can still get through

kimi ni tayotte bakari ita ne

I always depend on you, didn't I?

Your gaze and your voice

omoide ni kaeru kara

I will lock them away, in my memories

kimi ga kureta taisetsunamono

The important things you gave to me

zutto kokoro ni shimatte oku kara

I will keep them away from my heart

Everything has already been dyed sepia
