I saw that I was not alone walking there by the shore.
The one I saw was with me, as then we walked by the shore.
And as I leaned and looked through the blinding light, I saw her beauty.
I thought it'd be nice to be alone walking there by the shore,
The one who was once with me could not stand to let me go.
And now that one she has utterly disappeared, and it was my doing.
And there's no us, we, you and me.
Darling, I'm not sorry for being happy.
And now that I can be alone walking here by the shore,
I smile at the moon, but feel as happy as before.
And the emptiness of my hands is part of what makes me feel free.
