It was all a mystery

When you left

Yet something keeps

Telling me,

We'd meet someday

In our beautiful bright future.

But.

I hope we laugh it off

I expect we'd received

New strength to wave it off,

I hope that then

We'd both built new memories

And that future had washed

Away old mysteries.

I hope we cry, too

And let out tears as babies do.


But I hope we get to cry

For the right reason

_ that we share tears of joy

And not of sorrows

And not one recalling past glories.

I hope, I hope, I hope.


I hope when we see again

We'd still have the chance

To love each other again.

So on that day

I'd say,

Jojo, let me give you a kiss

Not another goodbye kiss

I mean,

Let's Keep In Sad Stories.
