Final Promise

I'm too busy studying for my written exam to get a learner's permit for driving to be able to say anything that makes any sense. SO, I've decided to provide everyone with an English translation of the lyrics to the most touching song from my favorite anime 'Marmalade Boy'. I wanted to post it before, but for some reason it seemed too.. something. Now I can post it! So check it out with a very cute pic of my favorite couple with the NY skyline in the background..

Final Promise (Saigo no yakusoku)


As it started to rain,
You seemed in a hurry to say goodbye.
Let's talk about something...anything.
I want to be with you a little longer.

If I let go of your hand,
I will never hold it again.
I've bravely closed my eyes against
Emotions that are overwhelming me.

I won't cry until it's over.
Even though that face and voice
Are tearing my heart apart
Why did this happen?
I don't want to believe it...
With all these memories
I love you too much.

I can't even speak,
Though my heart cries out.
If I keep holding you back like this,
You'll be soaked by the rain.

In a quiet, protective way,
You gently wrap your hands around mine.
Some day,
My memories of this will fade away.

Without looking back,
You say, "We'll meet again someday,"
The final promise I was waiting for.
I know we can never share
The same dreams again, but...
I wish I could stop time like this.

I don't cry until it's over.
Once you can't see me,
My courage melts away.
I don't want to believe...
I still can't...
With all these memories.
I love you too much.
