Love Letter
Takeshi Tsuruno Lyrics

The lyrics of Takeshi Tsuruno's song "Love Letter" depict a bittersweet reflection on a decade-long relationship. The lyrics begin by describing a bright and clear summer day, but the atmosphere has become faded and unchanged over time. The singer acknowledges that although their partner is still by their side, love cannot return to what it once was. They express a sense of helplessness in not being able to do anything for their partner, who was crying every night. The singer longs to see their partner happy and surprises them with kindness, wishing to embrace the smiling face they once had.

The chorus conveys the profound gratitude the singer feels towards their partner, acknowledging that they were born because of them. The partner had always reassured them that they were not alone and would be by their side through anything. However, as the days pass without seeing each other's faces, the singer realizes that the reality they face is different from what they had expected. The singer believed in an eternal love, promising to hold their partner tightly, whether they stumble or grow old. Yet, they both understand that love cannot return, and if they were to destroy everything now, their lives would lose meaning.

The lyrics unveil a nostalgia for a love that has changed but also a recognition that they had dreamed of silently being together. The repetition of "AH" at the beginning and end of the lyrics adds a touch of sentimental longing, capturing the complex emotions surrounding the relationship.
