September comes after August

My student time's August meant 
much different to me, 
 when compared with my out-of-school's August.

The difference is caused by 
the different degree of positive sentiments 
I would perceive for the forthcoming September.




Taylor Swift – August

Salt air, and the rust on your door
I never needed anything more
Whispers of "Are you sure?"
"Never have I ever before"
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
Your back beneath the sun
Wishin' I could write my name on it
Will you call when you're back at school?
I remember thinkin' I had you
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
Back when we were still changin' 
for the better
Wanting was enough
For me, it was enough
To live for the hope of it all
Cancel plans just in case you'd call
And say, "Meet me behind the mall"
So much for summer love and saying "us"
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
You weren't mine to lose, no
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
'Cause you were never mine, never mine
But do you remember?
Remember when I pulled up and said, "Get in the car"
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, 
for the hope of it all
"Meet me behind the mall"
Remember when I pulled up and said, 
"Get in the car"
And then canceled my plans 
just in case you'd call?
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all
(for the hope of it all)
For the hope of it all
For the hope of it all
(For the hope of it all)
(For the hope of it all)

The speeds at which cherry blossoms fall

To compare the speed at which 
cherry blossoms fell fifteen years ago, 
with the speed this year, is it faster or slower?

秒速5厘米 - 秒速5センチメートル
One More Time, One More Chance

十五年前的櫻花飄落的速度,
比較今年櫻花飄落的速度,
是快了些抑或是慢了些呢?
