Do you understand what I am saying?
Are you crying because you are scared of me?
Why is it you point up into the sky?
Is it because you’ve realized
That we’re about to go there now?
Just as your name here describes.
Together with me over the path that leads to the sky. Come now…
Overhead is a moonless sky, raining with stars.
Glittering here and there they shine over all that you are.
The depths of your eyes filled with an unspeakably infinite color,
Even without words, I feel you are looking down on me.
Ah, holding within you a color too cold for you to be called pure,
It’s as if you’ve already decided you won’t be any part of this world.
But is that not just,
A symbol of longing for what you can never have?
Even if I were to use the word “love”, and whisper in your ear,
It would not replace that which you will one day seek
“Live, without seeking ‘love’”
For you, a life of purity we wish with all our hearts.
For after all, I have no say in the matter…
I am only just mechanically, “dutifully”, doing what has been decided.
If they would allow me to send you along with just one of my feelings,
It would be, now that you’ve been born, for you to live your life to its fullest.
Ah, as a human, being told to live as “a bridge between us”,
Exactly who is it that “owns” your life?
But is that not just,
Another name for a fate to hate everything?
Even if I were to use the word “love”, and you were to understand me,
It would not replace that which you will one day seek.
“Live, without searching for ‘love’”
For you, a life of righteousness we wish with all our hearts.
If one day, you were to stop in your tracks for lack of “love”,
I wish I would be the one given the task of removing your yoke.
Your name was given with the understanding that you, living a life to fulfill
Our hidden desires, “would have no need to search for love”.
…but it that not just,
What it means to be named?
But one thing
At the very least is certain
You were given a name.
Is that not firm proof that in you I’ve placed my “love”?
Even if one day you come to be called
By something other than your name,
Even so, no one, no one can take your name away from you.
Holding “love” close to my chest,
Now, we cross over, into fantasy, where my “dreams” will be.
