An unforgettable day.

Icy tears of love shed from many sad eyes,

drops of water trickled down the hot skin 

with a strong salty taste.

An impossible nightmare to end,

a day where we couldn't stop screaming 

until we were speechless.

I don't know what to say to this,

I never knew what to say.

What do I do to be able to say goodbye to you?

What do I have to say to let you rest?

The house still has a faint smell of incense,

just like when you were alive.

Your friends still listen to romantic music 

because you liked it.

I still use seed bracelets

because you always used them.

This feels like a wooden stake 

being driven through my chest.

I feel a hole in my chest since 

you left this world,

I feel like I'm bleeding to death inside.

I couldn't even say goodbye to you,

I couldn't hear your voice for the last time.

Since that day I live with a great regret,

I don't even know if I'll be able to find an

ideal morning again now that you're gone.

I feel like my body is on fire.

I feel very angry,

I feel angry because you were 

taken out of this world unfairly,

but now nothing can be done.

Your being may soon begin

 to lose its shape,

but despite that I will always

 carry you in my heart.
