last snow in Tokyo

Selasa, 14 Desember 2010

By your side, I look at my watch
as you wait for the train


Unseasonable snow is falling
"This is the last snow I’ll see in Tokyo",
you murmur forlornly


I know it’s time for the traces of snow to fall
after the season we spent playing too much


Now spring is coming and you’ve become pretty
You’ve become much prettier than last year

You’ve put your face in the window of the moving train
You look like you want to say something


I was afraid of your lips moving to say goodbye
so I looked down
