wishing
lyrics: ayumi hamasaki
composer: hideaki kuwabara
arranger: akimitsu honma

i've never tried to count how long it's been since we met
but i feel like spending more time with you.
in a day that will soon give in to nightfall, you always finally call
"let's meet over there now," i am saved by those words.
maybe it's because i've had a lot of experience with this kind of thing.
so much that it's mysterious, i can feel you near me.

i'm sorry for always relying on you, it's just that i can't do anything myself...
more than anyone else, i'm praying that the dream you drew in your heart comes
true.
that you can be happy together with that person you love so much.

when the things i've been storing up for so long suddenly come flowing out,
you cried with me by my side, and we lauged.
countless as the stars, again and again we meet and break up.
at that time i lost more than i gained, but it's different now.

i'm always relying on you but, this time i'll do it myself.

you're really not that strong, and i know i can't be alone.
i hope that you can laugh together with that person you love so much.
