"Mom, what if I can't make friends?"
It's already been 10 years
A girl who has now turned 17 years old
I was worried even as I packed my bags without any problems.
"What are you worried about? You can date since you're friendly."
The girl's mother
In a warm dialect
It soothed the girl's anxious mind.
"I guess so..?"
It's my first time going to this city
Was the girl nervous?
I kept swallowing dry saliva.
"Whew, calm down... calm down."
The girl said the word 'true'
Reflecting and reflecting
One's last burden
After loading it into the trunk
I got in the car.
"This is the end too.."
The girl
In my heart
who was with me during my childhood
In a small rural village
Saying goodbye
I left for a distant city.
...
"Hmm.."
At the sound of someone waking up
The girl's heavy eyelids
I forced myself to lift it.
"We're all here, this is our home."
Where the girl's mother pointed
It's a little old, but
Looks better than a house in the countryside
There was an apartment.
"wow..."
"My friend is really big.."
The girl
In a large building I saw for the first time
I lost my mind.
"Why are you so dumbfounded!"
"Aren't you going to move your luggage quickly?"
The girl
Without time to appreciate it slowly
The girl's mother
I comforted the girl.
"Okay~"
"Move, move!"
Clearly with a fresh start in mind
I came to the city with the intention of making new friends.
I was already an excited girl
I felt uneasy somewhere.
'what..?'
...
"...."
A boy
An empty country house
With sad and complicated eyes
I was looking at it.
"Huh? What are you doing there?"
Go on the road
The grandmother who met the boy's eyes
I approached the boy.
"The girl who lived here..."
"Where did you go..?"
The boy
With an anxious face
I asked my grandmother.
"It's been a long time since I moved into this house~"
"After my grandmother passed away, I went to live in the city or something."
"But why do you ask that?"
According to my grandmother's words
The boy
Wiping away tears
I shook my head.
"No, nothing.."
...
Maybe it's because it's the countryside
As night fell, it became cool.
The boy
The first time I met a girl
Sitting in a garden with a good view of the stars
I looked up at the sky.
"..."
As expected
Among the brightly shining stars
Countless shooting stars are falling
It was that kind of day.
"Please let me meet that girl just once more."
The boy
So that the moon and stars can hear
Your own hopes and wishes
I told you.
This time
Hoping that my wish will be granted.
