[Poem] "goes on..."

I wanted to hold you
Without any reasons or excuses
I wanted to be with you
Without knowing any yesterday or tomorrow

I wanted to forget
The loneliness that paints over my body
I wanted to distract myself
From the despair that confuses this heart

I was just being selfish
I knew that, though

I wanted to hold your hand
Without finding any reality or ideal
I wanted to be smiling
Without measuring what is true or false

Could I have overwritten my past
If I were still spending time with you?
Would the sins I committed have been forgiven
If I could have made you happy?

I'll just stay selfish forever
Because I know

I probably can't go back now
Even if I fall in love with someone else
Even if I come to know love

Nothing I want to forget will disappear
Even if I accept it, I cannot change that fact

Let's go on like this
Embracing a yesterday full of mistakes
Carrying sins I cannot fully atone for
Being grateful for fleeting moments of peace

Someday the road will end
Until that day, let's keep walking
