I took this pic of one of his masterpieces at his Train Compartment Gallary on Christmas Day, 2022.
またすぐ会えると思ったから、さよなら言わなかったんだけど、
もう二度と会えなかった人がいた。
さよならを言うべきだったかな、と思ったけど、
可能性を自らつぶすようなことはやめよう。
逆らえない流れには、乗るべきだ (な、時がある)。
Because I had thought we would meet any time soon,
I didn't say goodbye to him,
but it would never happen.
I was wondering if I should've said "goodbye,"
well, no, it would be better to leave a door open.
We'd better go with a greater flow (or sometimes.)
