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.)
