A/N: I really wish you'd listen to it while reading, for full effect. Also, this is not proofread by my proofreader. But I really wanted to share it here.

夢から醒めて
"Awoken From a Dream"
There were lights, and I saw nothing else but black. It was raining, my clothes were heavy. I didn’t know what happened, but I was tired. Very, very tired.
I've gotten a little used to it, but even so I yearn
I looked at your retreating back as you went with him. You were smiling. It was really impossible, wasn’t it? For something so impossible to become real, I knew you weren’t like that.
You respected me and I respected you. It’s been three months, I’m sorry. I just can’t help it.
I remember when I'm looking at the night stars
Do you remember? We used to be like this.
We used to go to the rooftop of our school and looked at the beautiful night sky, the lively lights of the city, and the lights of cars at the roads. It was wonderful scenery, it makes you wonder;
“I wonder what everyone is doing right now?” and you’ll just immediately counter it.
“You know, you’re weird.” Then chuckle. It’s so cute.
Then, you just can’t help it you know? Those times when you just follow your heart instead of your brain.
Stupid heart.
Even though I chose this, I regret it, isn't it strange?
Even if I told you, myself, our friends I’ll never regret anything in my life and that includes letting you go.
It’s been a three years.
… I just can’t seem to bear and see you. I heard you’ve been looking for me, is that the one for your wedding?
Ah, I already heard from Eri. Congratulations!
I strolled down the park as I see families and their children playing with each other. We would never be capable of doing that, would we?
Suddenly I felt something drop onto my hand. Something wet as I immediately wiped it.
Ah, was it gonna rain today? I seriously shouldn’t go out alone, shouldn’t I?
You know, being rain girl and all. This
rain continued on dropping to the ground, right in between my feet. Was it really going to be like this?
I'm still putting on the same show of courage
There was this single instance that I saw you in the supermarket. He was holding on the cart, and you were chatting with him happily.
I should’ve just run away. I know you though, you’ll get worried…
So I approached the two of you.
“Hey,” I greeted. You looked shocked, I chuckled. “I was passing by so I dropped by to say Hi.”
I looked at him and smiled. He smiled at me too. He’s such a kind person isn’t he? He’s so lucky to have you.
“Wa—“
“I have to go now. Have a nice day!” I told you and him and walked away.
Was it going to rain again today? I’m not really sure. I didn’t bring an umbrella.
Hey, can you hear my voice?
Hey, can you feel my heart?
I'm still looking at the same sky and same sea now
Sometimes I still wonder, the world is amazing isn’t it? Like… how the people invented things like the wheel. Hehe, before you’d always listen to me ramble on and on about this.
You’ll always be there to be the straight man, but now… there’s no one there to do that for me. If I called for you when I need you… will you hear me? Hear the needs of my heart?
Some people say;
“The world is small.”
If I look at the moon, would you be looking at it too? If I looked at the sea… will you be looking at it too?
… thinking of me? I guess not.
I chuckled to myself.
Hey, can you hear my voice?
Hey, can you feel my heart?
This wind will bring it to me, just like always
There were days that I wished you had chosen me. I was only concerned of your happiness… I’m happy that you’re happy now.
Why can’t I get over it… and just be happy too like I promised? I’d like to apologize for that.
You know how much I hate apologizing, but I’ll do it for you, many many times. Until you forgive me.
I really think there’s no one else for me, but you.
But I’m not for you.
If I could go back to the past, I'd cross time
Will you wait for me in that town?
If we met again three years ago… would your answer be different? Would it be the same?
It would be the same… wouldn’t it? I mean, you’re married now, right?
I’m sorry I couldn’t attend your wedding even if I promised to be your maid of honor. It is indeed the most important event in a woman’s life. It only happens once in your life, only if you wish it to be that special.
I wanted to do it with you. We know that’s not possible though.
I think it’s gonna rain again, I looked up at the sky.
God, are you playing with me?
Yes, I can hear your voice
Yes, I can feel your heart
I wanted to see a dream with the same future and hopes
… I’ve always wanted to be with you. I don’t know why am I so stupid? I’m supposed to be the most reliable one too…
For two years… I looked for you. I looked for you everywhere. I knew you were avoiding me. That’s what I deserve don’t I?
I mean look at what I did to you. That must’ve hurt… quite a lot. I’m so stupid. Then you call me smart and reliable.
You must be kidding me.
Yes, I can hear your voice
Yes, I can feel your heart
I feel it with this skin, just like always
I felt something wet drop onto the top of my hand. Is it raining? I attempted to look at it, but I couldn’t. Am I shaking? Or Am I being shaken?
“No! No! Don’t go! DOCTOR! PLEASE! SOMEONE!”Eh? Is that you? Are you alright?
“DON’T! DON’T LEAVE ME! I’M SORRY!”That’s supposed to be my line. Don’t say that. Why are you apologizing to someone like me? I’m so happy that I found you though. You’re still pretty…
“What happened?” A male voice… ah… did you finally found someone too?
“I don’t know! She moved her hand, then… then suddenly… her heartbeat’s fluctuating! Doctor! Please do something!”I felt something drop onto my hand again. Are they droplets of rain? I closed my eyes as more of those wetness covered my hand.
Why only my hand though? I attempted to open my eyes. Then I saw you, being dragged out of the room. You were behind a mirror window. Are you leaving again?
“RISA!”When I awaken from my dream, you aren't here
You called my name. I’m so happy… I thought I wouldn’t ever hear that voice again. I thought I wouldn’t see you again.
Ah… but Ai-chan… why are you crying? What happened?
Did I do something?
“…’m…”
“Eh? Risa? Risa?”
“…sorry…”
“What? What are you saying? RISA!”
I’m sorry Ai-chan.
“…ti….d…”
“Eh?”
“…tired…”
I’ll rest for a bit. I’ll see you later.
My memories are changing, they're fading
I'll welcome a new tomorrow
“RISA! NO! DON’T! DON’T GO TO SLEEP!” Takahashi Ai held onto her hand as she closed her eyes.
The doctors and nurses started rushing inside the room, sooner or later she was pushed out of the room.
“Risa!” Ai placed both of her hands on the mirror as she watched her being used revived.
“Ai-chan!” A different voice came in. Ai immediately turned to the direction of the voice.
“Eri! Sayu!” Ai walked towards them and immediately broke. “She’s… she’s leaving me again…”
“Be strong, Ai-chan.” Sayu comforted the female and hugged her. “Gaki-san is strong. She looked for you for two years, never married the man who has been cheating on her just to find you. I’m sure he won’t give up now.”
“This is all my fault…” She cried harder onto Sayu’s shoulder. “If I hadn’t ran away… she wouldn’t…”
“Don’t blame yourself. She won’t like that, would she?” A smaller girl with her hair up in twintails entered in two with two Chinese girls and another female with crutches.
“She’ll be fine, Takahashi-san.”
“Sou, sou!”
“You should be strong too!”
Then a flat line.
…. At the end of the flat line, was a heartbeat.
*****
“Ai-chan!” Risa stepped into the pedestrian lane.
“No! Niigaki-san. Stay away!” Takahashi Ai shouted at the other said.
Then lights filled the streets as a rushing truck crashed. There was blood everywhere, blood… everywhere…
That was an event that happened one year ago.
She went everyday… wondering the same thing every month.
She was awake the whole time… but entirely in denial.“If I’m dreaming… please wake me up.”
“You’re not. I love you.” Niigaki Risa sat up from her hospital bed and smiled at the female seated on her bedside.
“oh god, that’s so cheesy I’m getting goosebumps.” Tanaka Reina chimed in as she held onto her arms.
“Way to ruin the atmosphere when it was getting so g—“ Sayu was about to reprimand the female when her eyes widened.
“They’d still kiss in front of us even if we di—SEE!” Reina pointed at the two. Sooner or later, everyone else was pushed out of the room,
thanks, Eri and was made to wait in the lobby.
“I’m sorry it took me so long.”
“Damn right.” Ai nodded. “I’m sorry, I ran away.”
“That’s just like you anyway.”
“Are you sure this isn’t just a dream?”
“We’ve woken up from the nightmare.”
“Together, huh?”
