SAD SONG

The moon hangs overhead so close you could almost touch it with your hand, but the words still won't come together. Instead of confessions, there are incoherent half-truths; instead of goodbyes, there is the eternal “just a little longer.” And how silly it is: the song seems sad, almost mournful, but you smile because it all sounds childishly sincere, with that same “so what if I can't, I'll do it anyway.”

Whether it's about love, or the fear of losing it, or the inability to say a simple “goodbye.” A funny and bitter mixture of English and Japanese phrases, as if the heart speaks in all languages at once, just so that it is understood. The result is crying, confession, and a vow all at once. It's a way of coming to terms with eternity - singing loudly that there is no such thing as parting.
