Lyric

On This Day

Mirai//K

On this day

On this day

One little light

And we fall back in

Could we delete it?

No, we never could

So we hide it in a folder

Like that does any good

Then one quiet evening

We open it by mistake

And there we are still laughing

Like nothing ever changed

No, it doesn't hurt

Not like it used to do

Just a little folder

We keep hidden from the room

But back then

Back then

It was real

It was real

On this day

We were bright

On this day

We had time

Now the screen lights up

And we fall apart

On this day

You still know my heart

Your eyes rush back

The second we see the frame

For one small breath

We're standing there again

The warmth, the scent

The sweetness in your eyes

All fly out like little lights

From another life

No, it doesn't hurt

Not like it used to do

Just one old feeling

Coming back brand new

But back then

Back then

It was real

It was real

On this day

We were bright

On this day

We had time

Now the screen lights up

And we fall apart

On this day

You still know my heart

A time capsule in my phone

Still keeps a summer we outgrew

One touch and it opens

The room, the light, and you

Maybe on your phone

There's no trace of me

Maybe you erased it all

To learn how to be free

But we don't lose it

Not the way we thought

Some love stays behind us

Like a song we almost forgot

And back then

Back then

It was real

It was real

It didn't fade

We understand it now

The warmth, the scent

The sweetness somehow

Little lights from a time capsule

Hidden in the phone

For one small breath

We're there, then we're home

No, it doesn't break us

Not the way it did before

But the picture still remembers

What the heart was beating for

On this day

We were bright

On this day

We had time

Now the screen lights up

And we fall apart

On this day

You still know my heart

On this day

We were gold

On this day

Love felt close

Now the years move on

But the picture stays

On this day

We still look away

A little light

A little sound

The past goes dark

But not for now

Back then

Back then

It was real

It was real

    Blame It on the Night

    Mirai//K

After someone leaves, the things they left behind keep holding the room.

A hoodie still draped over the chair in July.
A coffee mug staring back from the midnight sink.
A striped umbrella by the front door, even on sunny days.
Mail still arriving in their name, season after season.
A photograph on the screen, still laughing, still bright.

Can't throw them away. Can't get them back. Can't decide.
And in that in-between space, only the objects keep faithful time.

Loss doesn't move in straight lines.
The mind tries to forget, but the heart remembers.
The objects stay exactly where they were.
Time passes, the days grow lighter, you sing a quiet song,
you eat something sweet to face the morning -
and then, without warning, a photograph pulls you back.

A smile that looks like it was taken just yesterday.
The time capsule is cruel that way.

But slowly, the memory becomes something else -
deep and shallow at the same time -
until one day, it turns into gratitude.
Only those who have lived it truly understand.

"Keepsakes" is a song cycle of nine quiet farewells -
nine objects holding the weight of someone no longer here.
A love album for those moments
when the past refuses to stay in the past.

A mango eaten one summer afternoon.
Taillights bleeding into the rain on a midnight drive.
An umbrella waiting for a sky that won't change its mind.

Each thing remembers what the heart still cannot let go.
The pain hidden inside the bright moments,
and the light that flickers within the pain -
both are held here, side by side.

Written from a place beyond the wound -
not erasing the pain, not running from it,
but choosing to let these small things stay,
"like proof that it was real."
