Each time I learn words I didn't know
I reach my hands into traces of the past
But there may also be words
That I can't understand on my own

Goodbyes are bitter,
And "I love you"s carried a distant scent
These incomparable feelings
Are terrifying, but are also terribly precious

Why am I crying?
What should I answer my heart?
Words don't have to always be spoken,
Just by being there, they will only grow stronger
And it makes me long for you more

Each time I learn more beautiful phrases,
It feels like I've come to dislike myself more

But there may also be phrases
That I can't pretend not to know

Sadness is cold,
And "Thank you"s are colored with warmth
Each time I come into contact with something intangible
Your voice resonates deep within my heart

I've stopped writing
Unfinished letters
And the unaddressed letters flutter in the breeze
Towards the town of who I want them to reach
To tell of the end of the beginning

I will not give up on living
So I can show you how proud I am of myself today

Why am I crying?
What should I answer my heart?
Words don't have to always be spoken,
Just by being there, they will only grow stronger
And it makes me long for you more
