Ai Otsuka - Cherish (translation)

Since when have we lost
The wonderful things that we need somewhere?
I fear the connection to [your] heart
& i buried myself with my body
During those days [when] i [lied] everyday about my fear,
You were already in my heart

If we can think deeply
That someday time will end here,
I thought that will always love you
& i'll be holding out my hand [to you]

Love is such a scary thing
That's why we run away as we search for it
It no longer has anything to do with being an adult or being a child

This feels just like it's my first love
So much so that i feel like it must be fate
Not even in my dreams do i feel
The way i do when we hold each other

If we can't meet each other,
I couldn't laugh this way [like when i'm with you]
This year, the happiest thing is
Being able to be by your side
