Looks like I'll be spending another Valentine's alone.
Carrying on from last year, this cover's meant to take a different spin on today's happy vibes. Love should be celebrated in all its different forms, and unrequital is but one.
Sorry if the performance on this one isn't the greatest from a technical standpoint. When I recorded this, the emotions were still pretty raw...
It still kinda hurts to be honest.
Breakups are hard, but the fallout is harder. Especially when you realize that you have the same friends and see them everywhere you look.
This song, this last song is for her. I hope she's listening.
I'm moving on.
"Watashi e" or "To Myself" was a letter from a young woman to her past self reminiscing her unrequited love... and this song is her story. Both are played to the same tune.
I uploaded To Myself the day we started dating.
And with that, I close this chapter of my life with a smile.
Thank you for everything, my dearest.
Farewell.
- Akane.

LYRICS:
On a day that seemed the same, just like any other,
suddenly, you stood up and said you had an idea.
"Oh, I know! Let's all go stargazing tonight!"
"Looks like even you can have a moment of brilliance,"
I said. You groaned to yourself as we laughed through the darkness...
Bright, our smiles, they light up the road!
Living day to day with a wide grin on our faces,
together we won't ever feel the pain that we carry...
Just like this, we'll never feel alone!
We look to the stars, shining brightly, lighting up the dark!
White trails of light... as the stars fall through the sky!
So just when was the start? Sensations in my heart...
They have turned into a burning fire for you!
So, please don't be surprised with what I've tried to hide
when I tell you, just listen to these feelings of mine!
"Those three there are Deneb, Altair, and Vega,"
you said to me and pointed to the trio of summer
Thinking back, I look to the sky...
Finally, I found weaving princess Orihime
I look to see Hikoboshi weeping 'cause it's raining...
One more year, alone, so lonely...
With you by my side, smiling so brightly, I find that I
can't say a thing...
Though my heart is fluttering!
I think I've always known, while these feelings have grown...
somewhere deep down: "I'm meant to be alone!"
Just knowing that they're there, it makes this so unfair...
so I won't cry. These thoughts of mine...
I'll keep it all inside.
I pretended I was strong enough to let it go.
I pretended not to mind even though it killed me inside...
Even so...
I can feel the pain piercing through my heart increase...
Now it all makes sense, now I can see just what it means to fall in love with you...
There we lay, under the stars...
Can you hear the voice of my heart...?
I just want to be by your side...
but the truth is very unkind.
I didn't say a word, and even though it hurt...
My one wish will go unheard!
That summer night so dark, the light of twinkling stars
shine so brightly, I remember even now
Your smile when you laughed
Your face when you got mad
I love it all so much!
Well, would you look at that?
My story, left untold...
A Story You Don't Know!
I'll never tell, I'll keep it To Myself!
Together, you and me...
...a distant memory.
Even tonight, you point to the sky...
So dreadfully naive.
