A tale of melodies

a wind blows through the city
the wind is cold, and at times, it may make you want to stop
when that time comes, I want you to continue moving forward, no matter how slowly
you'll definitely reach it someday
even if sad things happen, you'll be fine
if you reach out your hand, someone will be there
because we can share warmth
even if you're alone on a tough journey
as long as you don't let go of the hand you hold onto, you'll definitely triumph
that's why you should never give up
at the end of a long, long road, happiness awaits you
happiness gathers together and becomes an even greater happiness
one day, I want you to realize this
you've experienced a plenty of happiness when you walked down this road
never forget. you're not alone.
carve your confident footsteps into the ground, transcend seasons,
and look up towards the sky.
even without wings, you'll make it
to the dream you saw one day
that dream of a future, overflowing with light.

reminded me of goodbyes, passing and lost time, inner strength and those who are precious to me.
