I don't know how many days are left
The familiar days of the past
Everyone is walking again
______________
The memories of that time still remain vivid.
The bell that rang all the way to the end of the hallway, the tension of standing in front of the blackboard,
And the moments of laughing and chatting with friends.
It all unfolds in my mind as if it happened yesterday.
I didn't know it then.
That once those moments pass, they never come back.
Wearing a school uniform and walking the same path every day was my daily routine.
Without realizing the preciousness hidden in that daily life
I passed it by without noticing. But now I see it.
If I could walk that road again,
I want to tell you that everything was special to me back then.
On graduation day, I awkwardly greeted my friends and laughed,
There was a strange emptiness in my heart.
The fact that I will no longer be able to face you every day
It seemed to make us adults.
Even though we know that it is time for each of us to go our separate ways,
In my mind, it seems like time in that classroom has still stopped.
Those days are gone,
The dreams and worries we shared back then,
And the memories we made growing up together
It always remains within me.
Maybe on the way forward
There will come a time when you will miss those days again.
As if I were walking back through the familiar past,
Memories of laughing and crying together on that road back then
It will illuminate the path ahead.
If we meet again someday,
Can we ever go back to how things were?
