Ayumi Hamasaki Quotes

Isn't it? It's as if we have just entered a new age
It's a miracle;
we will never experience it again
Let's remember it once more

When I woke up, I found
by my pillow a teddy bear
instead of you.

Your back always
looked small and weak
but we could laugh together
at funny stories.
But if people keep making
the same mistakes over and over
can they really regret them?

You once said long ago
while stroking my hair,
"When you wake up, there'll be
a nice present
by your pillow."

Today was very sad,
and even if tomorrow, I cry,
someday I will be able to laugh
and remember our time together.
How many seasons must pass,
in this, our finite existence?
If we live in the "now",
what will we find?

This year, once again, the seasons have passed.
Memories have faded.
The border between my blurry dream and
reality has become blurred.
Even so, the dream I once told you of
did not have a single lie.

If you don't need it, then
it is useless to be compassionate.
If it's important then
it will probably be followed with pain.
Loneliness that you feel with someone is worse
than one you feel
alone.

Choosing only the things you like
isn't irresponsible.
If you can't find anything you like
then why take the responsibility?
I take only the possibilities that I'm ready to accept.

I saw the end of an age
with these, my eyes.
But I didn't want to know
that it's my turn next.

Everyone, including I, is certain
that "that thing" they're searching for
is in the future.
But how many people have realized
that "that" is actually in the past?
I can't even guess.

Today's happy face, today's sad face.
Yesterday, a weak self, tomorrow, a strong self.
If it's you, who are you showing it to? If it's I, whom should I show it to?

When I lost my way, and
When the road was too long,
I was muttering to myself.
Life is just that way...

Who taught me true strength?
Who taught me kindness?
Whom do I walk for?
Who did I want to stroke my hair?
Who didn't give up for me?
I'll never forget.

The lovers, appearing happy,
walk, holding hands.
Though it appears everything is perfect, only they know the truth.

By your faith in people, you will someday be betrayed.
I thought it was the same as being rejected.
At the time I didn't have that kind of strength.
Certainly, I knew too much.
It was said that I was a strong child.
I was praised, saying "you must have strength not to cry"
The more things like that were said,
the more even laughing was painful.
