Your tender face keeps me from uttering the word 'let's break up' out loud.
If I tell you to break up while you're smiling, I feel like I'll burst into tears.
It wasn't because you were bad—it was because I couldn't bear myself for making you cry every time.
But I didn't want to see you anymore swallowing your tears by force because of me.
Now I really had to say it. I steeled myself and made a final appointment for our parting.
Yet sitting in the café, you were already holding someone else's hand.
This is a finished translation and can't be continued here.
