One of the Few

**[Verse 1 – Intimate Female Vocals]**

You told me there were few you knew,
Who saw the things you never showed.
And somewhere in that quiet truth,
You let me walk a little closer to your world.

We talked beneath the fading skies,
Of dreams that seemed so far away.
You said that I was someone you could trust,
I never thought that trust would drift away.

**[Pre-Chorus – Strings Slowly Enter]**

I never needed promises,
Or words that couldn't stay.
I only thought that we would find
A little time along the way.

**[Chorus 1 – Warm Orchestral Pop]**

I don't regret the days we knew,
The little world we made from words.
Even if the seasons change,
And all our paths become unknown.

You were a light I got to see,
A fleeting star above the sea.
And if we're strangers from here on,
I'm glad I knew you all along.

**[Verse 2 – More Atmospheric, Melancholic]**

September came with its golden skies,
Another year beneath your name.
I sent my words into the quiet,
And watched them disappear without a sound.

The little signs, the empty space,
The conversations left behind.
I still remember who we were,
Though I don't know who you are tonight.

**[Pre-Chorus 2 – Gradually Building]**

I wanted to be there when it rained,
To help you through the weight you carried.
But even open hands must learn
That not every heart wants to be reached.

**[Chorus 2 – Stronger Vocals, Expanding Strings]**

I don't regret the days we knew,
The trust you gave, the things we shared.
I cannot ask you to remain,
Or make you turn around again.

ありがとう、出会えてよかった
(Thank you, I'm glad we met.)

Even if the stars divide,
And yours no longer shine with mine,
I'll keep the warmth you left with me,
And let you find your own way free.

**[Bridge – Piano and Vulnerable Vocals, Then Gradual Crescendo]**

Maybe we were never meant
To walk together to the end.
Maybe some doors close without
A reason we can understand.

I wanted to help, I wanted to stay,
But I cannot choose the words you say.
If you don't want me by your side,
I'll learn to let the silence lie.

さよなら、元気で
(Goodbye, be well.)

I hope the world is kind to you.

**[Final Chorus – Grand Orchestral and Choral Climax]**

I don't regret the days we knew!
Not a single word, not a single truth!
Though time has taken what we were,
I won't erase the warmth we shared!

You were one of the few,
One of the few who let me through.
And even if we never meet again,
I'll be grateful for the way it began!

ありがとう、忘れない
(Thank you, I won't forget.)

Not every story has to stay,
Not every star can light the same way.
And though our worlds may drift apart,
You'll always have a place inside my heart!

**[Outro – Orchestra Gradually Falls Away, Returning to Piano]**

Somewhere between the stars and blue,
There's still a little light from you.

I don't regret...

I knew you.
