Beautiful youth of a summer day. Remembering and drawing that day that can never return, I remember you.
About
I spent my high school years in a seaside village. I met my first love there and spent the happiest summer of my life, but I lost them in an accident. We parted ways without me ever being able to confess my feelings. Even now, I visit the beach where we first met. I will draw you in my memories, those beautiful youth days of summer that can never return. I confess to you, who can never come back, that I loved you. Why couldn't I confess? Why didn't I realize that I liked you, that I loved you? I draw you on the beach where the waves sweep in. I know you can't come back, but I always wait at the spot where we first met.

Intro
The sound of waves can be heard.
The sea that sparkled under the midsummer sun is still there, but you are gone. I sit at the end of the old breakwater and gaze at the horizon. Even the salty scent carried by the wind and the cries of the seagulls are the same as that day. It feels as if time has stopped.
But time did not stop.
Not since that day it took you away.
*"I'm here again today."
I mutter to myself on the deserted beach.
No answer comes back.
Of course not.
Because you can never return now.
I fidget with the old seashell in my hand. It's the one you placed in my palm the day we first met.
*"They say this is a lucky shell."
Your brightly smiling face is still vivid in my mind.
I cannot forget that smile.
No, I don't want to forget it.
The beautiful youth of a summer day.
Those days that can never return.
And you, who can never return.
Why couldn't I say it then?
Why didn't I realize it then?
My feelings that were hidden behind the name of 'friend'.
How my heart fluttered every time you smiled, how my heart ached every time you cried, and how I felt jealous every time you looked at someone else.
That it was love.
"I loved you."
I quietly breathe out a confession that will be buried and lost in the sound of the waves.
What meaning does it have now?
You can't even hear it.
Still, I say it.
Every day, at the same spot.
At this beach where we first met.
Just in case, just maybe.
So that if you are somewhere beyond the waves, you might be able to hear it.
"I'm back again... to this sea."
Haruto sits at the end of the breakwater, watching the waves.
"I thought I'd be able to forget someday."
He slowly strokes the seashell in his hand.
"...I'm thinking of you again today."
He gives a faint smile.
"If it's you, I wonder if you're still here?"
