I'm putting these things I could never say into a letter. You gave me direct, unwavering love at all times. Without a word, you kept giving me the obvious path; while I, rebellious and immature, was nothing but selfish. With this abundant love of yours, I'll live strong and unbeaten.

This body you gave me is packed full of your love. Giving me hope of nothing but happiness, your words propelled me from behind.

These cherry blossoms are pretty; thanks for all you've done.

Teacher, I'm putting these things I couldn't say into a letter. You gently removed the thorns from my childish heart. You lit a stairway for me, with warmth like the sun's. Your final words to me were "this is to the one who lights up someone's heart."

The things I learned will help my courage so I can walk through times of difficulty. I say goodbye with a smile; thanks for all you've done.

Goodbye uniforms; goodbye textbooks; goodbye classrooms. I won't forget them. Thank you, my friends; thank you, adolescence. This is the day I start a new life. So that the future "me" won't forget, I'm singing this for myself.

I believe that the path I choose will have its failures and regrets, but if I live in the present without turning back, I'll be sure to encounter joy and happiness. I'll walk without fears, even in life's detours. I'll enjoy those times with a smile.

So it gets to the future me, will you carry this song for me in this spring breeze?
