Zutto hazukashikatta koto woThe things I’ve always been embarrassed about—
Wasureteta wake janai noniit’s not that I had forgotten them.
FushigiIt’s strange,
Miwatashitara aru nonieven though they’re there when I look around,

Kouen no benchi wo omoi ukaberuI call to mind a bench in the park,

Mayonaka no benchi karaRight here from this midnight bench.
