I remained alone until the very end
because I could never forgive myself—
unable to face
the friend I lost that day,
and you, whom I betrayed.

As this body began to near its end,
I decided that at least once,
I would finally face myself,
and peer into my own heart.

God,
why was I born?
(Please tell me…)
Was it for fleeting pleasure
and endless suffering?

“A place to which everyone will someday return.”
I hope you are smiling there.

God said,
“You will never take that form again.
Next, you will become human
and destroy the land where you were born.
You will be resented by many,
and you will never be forgiven—
but that is your precious role.
You may rest easy.”

God,
will I someday be saved?
(Please tell me…)
Is reincarnation truly real?

A landscape I feel I saw long ago—
yet this body was not ‘me.’

“A place to which everyone will someday return.”
Even if I leave here,
will we meet again?

At the very end, at last, honestly,
“I love you—from the bottom of my heart.”

La la la…
