I wonder...
if you can fall in love
as silently as the snow is falling.
Falling out of a cloudy sky,
changing the color of the world below.
For me...
The world has been silent
since I was born.
Did he get his directions?
I should thank him for saving me…
"Thank you."
Even though in the beginning, he looked at me like I was some exotic creature…
Without hesitation, he told me, "See you around"...
He's Itsuomi,
an upperclassman at my college
who's 3 years older than me.
Is this admiration? Is this love?
I want to know more about him.
His vibe at his part time job…
Is so different from when I first met him.
My heart is still thumping in my chest.
Itsuomi-san is... walking next to me..
His hands are rough and large.
My fingers were starting to go numb
from the cold air and snow,
but now...
It's like they're extra sensitive.
It tingles. I can't tell him...
"Would you mind letting me have your number?"
I wonder how big the world is…
From Itsuomi's point of view.
What do I say back...?
He popped into my world...
Out of nowhere.
I don't wanna know...
How to stop these feelings.
And thus the wheels of love began to turn.
They've already started rolling,
and I don't know how to stop them.
What should I do…
If I fall in love with you?
