Dear My Friend

Dear my friend
look at the sky.
Now we are are looking at the same sky.
Even at a long distance, it is the same world.
[it is the same earth, it is the same generation.]

Just like the sea and the sky, somewhere we too must be tied together.
Dear my friend If I followed these clouds
I wonder, will it continue to your town?

Say hello Watch me cry your name in a loud voice into the emptiness.
I want to meet in reality, but even in dreams we cannot meet.

How much would it take
for that bird to have freely flown to heaven?

I may not have feathers [wings], but
in their place I have these hands with which I closely embrace you.

So strongly, even the birds are almost envious
Dear my friend If I held on to these clouds,
I wonder if it will take me back to you.

So then, another time when we someday meet,
I will tightly grasp your hand
so that you will never go astray again.

Like a bird, like a wind.

Many thanks for the letters!
