18 Sai no Uta (Song For 18 Years Old)
Mao Abe
Text

This night I writhe in sorrow suddenly visits me
I remember your arms and your scent
On this night I feel I’m going to fall apart, I can’t reach you by phone
I remember the hands that used to hold me close

I want to at least hear your voice, then if my wish comes true

I want to meet you; I can’t meet you
This distance is vexing
I just want to touch you
I want to meet you

In the midst of these days that change too quickly and put me in a daze
is the time you think of me also something regrettable?
Why is it that what is satisfying your heart is always
someone that is not me

Where are you now?
I can no longer see

I want to go; I’m crying
I want to send you these tears
I only need you
I want to meet you

I want to meet you; I’m crying
I want to show you the state I’m in now
I’m not so strong
Please notice that

I want to meet you; I can’t meet you
This distance is vexing
I just want to touch you
I want to meet you
I want to meet you
