Nostalgic Song

Nostalgic Song
by me(whatever)
to this song: Nujabes- Imaginary Folklore
If anyone cares, the song I'm referencing to in this poem, "I want to turn transparent, like the sky," is a song by Utada Hikaru called Take 5.

I wake up in the foggy night,
the darkness both frightening and embracing me.
This translucent feeling from the headphones,
just what is the rain trying to tell me?

She said spirits are everywhere, making up the world.
when I sat thoughtless on the school brick wall,
staring through an empty soda bottle,
just what was that distorted sky whispering to me?

I can't cry, I can't smile,
but I'm not emotionless.
In elementary school, when I traversed to another world on the playground swings,
just what was the wind not saying?

And still, just a little
those nostalgic song lyrics:
"I want to turn transparent,
like the sky."

If I remember,
how to listen to those old songs,
will I traverse time?
Will the memories not hurt so bad?

And still, just a little
that nostalgic song, just the same:
"I want to turn transparent,
like the sky."

Like the sky.
Just a little.
