Translarion:
Dear My Friend,

Can you hear me?
How fortunate it was that we met on the ball court that day
Where sorrow crept in after the rain, you backed me up till the end and never asked for anything in return
I was one man against the world, yet you never doubted my absurdity
So swiftly did the seasons turn, autumn phasing in before midsummer’s end,
as though entering a parallel universe
How do I accept that we’d be parting ways the next day?

If my sky was never brightened with your light
How lonesome would my life have been?
During my frivolous youth I’d shut myself out from this crazy world
And build this utopia of mine in that tiny fort
If you hadn’t been by my side on that darkest day
Who else would’ve listened to my rants, and embraced my depression in the worst of times?
It was always you, who’d lend me these familiar shoulders, so I could let my emotions loose

My loneliness grows, as your cheery face rests yonder behind me
My tears have run dry, yet you are my oasis who’d revitalize me, like you always did
Lighting up the brightest of stars from your deserted island

If my sky was never brightened with your light
How lonesome would my life have been?
During my frivolous youth when I’d shut myself out from this crazy world
You had no limits but the sky, the sky under which I could freely roam, roam with you

Now that you’ve departed, those battles in real life I must do without you
But there comes to mind, in the bleakest of times, our happiest moments, lending me courage so I may tread forth in your stead

If your heaven is all I see in the sky today
Then please allow my heart to beat on vigorously for you
Embracing hope in discomfort, offsetting every ounce of disappointment
One day we’ll finally meet and search for our utopia
The kite of youth soars into the precious cache that is our memories
You shall always be that kind and bright soul in my mind, as I mimic
That smile of yours, believing that you will peer back from afar, from amidst the stars
