A World Without You (feat. OtoseYura Shirayura)

You are the only one missing.

Everything else is still here.

The school bell after class.
The familiar road home.
The bench near the station.
The same beautiful sky we once looked at together.

But the person standing in that world has changed.

Sometimes I still turn around,
half expecting to see you there.
And only now do I understand
how precious those ordinary conversations really were.

If forgetting is what makes someone strong,
then maybe I can afford to stay a little weak.

I do not have to erase the sadness.
I can carry the days we laughed,
the days we cried,
and every memory we shared.

The world without you is a little quieter now.

And yet, it is still beautiful,
because the world I see is the one where you once existed.

The kindness you gave me
still becomes part of my tomorrow.

So whenever I look up at the sky,
I quietly say:

Thank you.

And maybe, someday,

see you again.
