5 cm per second

Do you know?
The speed at which cherry blossoms fall...
5 centimeters per second.

At what speed must I live...
to be able to see you again?
At what speed must I live...
to be able to meet you again?

The tick of our time..
move differently.
Perhaps the speed at which I have lived...
has created a gap between us far too large.

Every minute felt like an eternity,
Every step that I take...
felt like miles away.

If I could fly, across this night
faster than the speed of light
I would spread this wings...
Just to meet you.
Just to live in your time.

Maybe,one day
we will be able see the cherry blossoms,
Together again,
just like in our early days.

But perhaps it could never happen again.
if we were never meant to meet again.
I will treasure this feeling...
and moving forward.
To find something that precious.
Something that I've lost...
when I was younger.
