Slow Down

Life is long, but memory is short. There are only a few moments that are forgotten so slowly, so lingeringly.

AI translation with human reviews.

Every time I slow down to wait for someone
Moved through several cities
There were always those few days
When I hated it
I am merely a passerby in the crowd
The only certainty is that you are not afraid of losing me
This gave me courage

Life is long
Memory is short
There are only a few moments
That are forgotten so slowly, so lingeringly

That balloon flying toward the sea on New Year's Eve
That silhouette of you holding Vava, gazing at the mountains
That RV that kept the world at bay for years
That fire burning in the Olympic Forest Park
