friend lyrics: ayumi hamasaki composer: yasuhiko hoshino arranger: akimitsu honma when i was filled with laughter from the heart i didn't even notice my own happiness. i can't go back, no matter how much i miss that summer. that slender yet strong hand. because i pulled away. because you're important to me i feel like i'll lose you without noticing it, but again, again i tell you that "in this whole world, there's only one of you." a wind that tells the changing of the seasons blows i'm afraid of feeling that you're far away. when we were still together, i truly loved you and cried. i was easier to hurt than now, but i certainly shined. if you find something you can believe in, i'll certainly give you a hand. again, again i tell you that, "even if we're separated, in our hearts we're still friends." while i look up at the blue sky on a clear day, i kick puddles on a rainy day. again, again i know why i was born, the meaning of life. even on painful days, even if i want to flee into the night, again, again, i remember my days with you and use them as support.
