As my tears keep overflowing
one after another, I can’t see your last smile through their blur. Please don’t go, please don’t go... Stay here. Light bursts through the sky. Even this insignificant me loved you more than anyone, with all my soul. Thank you for all of the precious feelings you’ve given to me. “When you took off, I was watching for a long time as the vapor trail disappeared.” Please don’t forget You’re not alone. Even if we’re apart, we can still carry on hand-in-hand. With my first love, I first realized that there could be such sorrow. Even if something lapses away, something will live once again. When you gave me a smile as we parted, it was your message for me to truly live with all my heart. I just know that we’ll see each other someday. If we’re together, even if we’re far apart, we can gaze in each other’s eyes Let’s bet everything on all our hopes and dreams. Let’s promise each other that we’ll hold on to the intensity we felt that day, and live the future that blooms in tomorrow. |

Song info: Escaflowne movie ending theme (the 23-carat version made for Nikopachi is a little different, but not by much)
Maaya's liner notes: I just sang it again. I sing this song a lot during concerts. I really love it. But it’s very painful. (Translated by Boobear and neoangel_1 of Jpopmusic.com Forums)
