Departures (Anata Ni Okuru Ai No Uta)

No longer can I call myself loved by you anymore
And neither can I say I'm still wanted or who you need
And so now I'm on my own
Or was I guaranteed
To walk alone

I wish I knew what you had tried to express long ago
But when you spoke the heavens swept up all of your words
Even though it's nothing new
I'll take another step
And make a wish that will not come true

Please say you won't let go of me
And tightly hold me so
I need to know that we will forever be this way
The memory of holding your hand each and every day
I'll never forget

You made me cry so many times
And that never did change
But looking back I'm glad I cried even though it still hurts
Because when you'd apologize
You'd make the sweetest face
And you'd pull me into your embrace

Ahh

Please say you won't let go... of me
And tightly hold me so
Inside your arms is where I would like to call my home
My true wish is to open my eyes in the morning light (ahh)
And see your face

Did you ever think
That this day would come
When a goodbye would last forever

Please say you won't let go of me
And tightly hold me so
Your smile won't be for me
You'll be a memory
Just one more time
Before your warmth completely disappears
Hold me in your arms
Ahh
