Promise

Promise me that you’ll never cry.

Promise me that you’ll always smile.

Please, don’t cry it pains me.

Please, don’t force your smile it makes me sad.

(Senpai, how come you always smile?)

Because I am afraid you might run away.

Because if I don’t you won’t smile.

(That blue eyes of yours they are pretty.)

No, you are more beautiful.

Your attitudes, and those eyes.

(Can you promise me? Even though one of us dies first, the person remaining would live happily.)

I just nodded as you say those words. Back then I thought it was easy to live happily since you were with me.

(I am sorry; you remember the promise, right?)

Your lips were covered in blood and the words that was flowing from your lips… I was afraid… I didn’t want to listen…

You’ve been pale for a while as if you were about to die. But, your golden eyes told me something else.

(Syuusuke, they said I won’t be able to see you any longer… Because I am too tired…)

Your head bowed down… I could see your tears falling.

(I am going far away… I won’t be able to see you any more… Syuusuke..)

I turned my head not being able to see your face. Your tears continued to fall.

(So please, Syuusuke promise me one thing.)

…………Promise……What?

(…Forget me…)

That forced smile of yours, disappeared before my eyes.

(You remember the promise, right?)

The sad face you hid with those attitudes.

(That you would live happily even though I die)

Now I know. I thought you were happy.

(Please, smile. Just like you always do)

I was just looking at an illusion; you the who is suppose to be happy.

I was just looking at an illusion.

(I am sorry. And I love you. And the two promises)

……………

(To forget me, and to live happily)

………………………

I don’t think I can keep the promise Ryoma.

Because, I will be beside you soon…
