English translation<\/h2>\n

\tThings that you couldn’t tell your mom or dad,
\n\tthat troubled you–We had those nights where we stayed up talking the whole time
\n\tAbout skipping school for no good reason
\n\tAbout why you cried
\n\tThat feels like quite a while ago     right, Erika?<\/p>\n

\tLonging for the night streets, chatting on the phone even though we met every day
\n\tThe hours we spent at our usual cafe talking about our dreams–Don’t forget them
\n\tSomehow it feels like quite a while ago     doesn’t it, Erika?<\/p>\n

\tNow,     although we’ve begun walking down our separate paths
\n\tDon’t forget, no matter how hard the road,     it’s for the dreams we spoke of<\/p>\n

\tMove forward     without hesitation     the path that you chose
\n\tMove forward     without hesitation     without looking back<\/p>\n

 
\n\tSitting in the seat at the very back [1]     you often slept on your bag as a pillow
\n\tStudying the whole night before an exam     we’d fall asleep together in a heap
\n\tThat feels like quite a while ago     doesn’t it, Erika?<\/p>\n

\tRemember     that day when we met, both of us full of insecurities
\n\tI couldn’t have guessed that we’d have so many wonderful times together
\n\tI wouldn’t have thought it     And there will be more, from now on…<\/p>\n

\tMove forward     without hesitation     the path that you chose
\n\tMove forward     without hesitation     without looking back<\/p>\n

\tThe warmth of our shoulders when we leaned on each other
\n\tWhen I’m lonely     it comforts me
\n\tBeing able to be myself
\n\tIt’s because so many friends, and you, are here for me     Erika<\/p>\n\n<\/div>
