初恋の絵本 (Hatsukoi no Ehon)

English:

When was it that we first met?
How many springs ago was it?
When I saw a person messing around in the hall and getting scolded

We were in separate classes, but
something about you stood out.

When was it that we talked?
Did you call out to me?
Before we knew it, we were talking about pointless things.

We were made fun of because of the strange distance between us.
You were so blunt,
but I knew.

If I had the courage to reach the last 10cm,
I wonder if "today" would be different.
If I was a more innocent fool and honest,
I would have been able to hold it!

I love you! You love me too, right?
I'm just an optimistic coward...

I remember even now
This page and that page that time too
It was my first love.

"It's a secret."

In your long story,
could I have stayed a little longer?
Yours and my story, if only a little,
should have overlapped!

Though, I'm no longer a child anymore.
I close the book full of wonderful love and memories and lock it.

If only I had the courage to reach the last 10cm...
