Spring, when the cherry blossoms should be in bloom.

I am leaving you behind to take up my sword.

I wish for you to know nothing. I don't want you to worry or be sad for no reason.

Please just stay by my side as you are now, with that beautiful smile on your face.

When you smile, I find myself smiling too. So please, keep smiling even while I am gone.

I will return soon. I will stand before you again as if nothing happened.

And when I return, you don't have to say a word, just hold me once.

During that time, I will always be thinking of you. Even in the moment I grip my sword, even in the moment I close my eyes, I will think of you.

If, by any chance, I do not return.

Then, do not wait for me. Do not be sad either.

Just live happily. You living your life with a smile, that is all I wish for.

On the day the cherry blossoms bloom again, I hope you are smiling.

I love you.
