Right now I am full of greed and vanity, so I cannot live with you like before. But may be we can meet like this. I think just being together and talking would be nice. But when we grow old, when greed and vanity will be completely gone, when I will be tired of singing can I return to that place too?
Ai YazawaPeople can't be just tied together. They have to connect. Otherwise, they'll find themselves bound hand and foot.
Ai YazawaMaybe Iโm just farsighted. The further away something is, the better I can see it but once it gets close, I lose sight of it.
Ai YazawaThe truth is I always loved him. From the first time I saw him he was so great. But that time I was hurt. I might have been selfish but I was so hurt. I was afraid I would feel more pain. Now I remember every time I was with Shouji I felt better. You hugged me secretly with your heart, didn't you? Now I want you to embrace me with all that warmth, with all your strength.
Ai YazawaYou know Hachi, your life depends only on ourselves. Iโm still convinced about thisโฆ But Iโve also learned to accept that peopleโฆ donโt all become as strong, and it made me kinder than before.
Ai YazawaThe feeling that was born that night, how could i describe it?Words like love or lust just don't seem right. I may call it jealousy, or may be anxiety and moreover, need. Even now I'm anxious at times because when I am with Ren, everything around feels like a dream. That was how Ren turned my boring life into an illusion, and that was too much for no matter how hard i tried, it seemed I could never catch him.
