LOVE SONG

I never thought I'd need you there when I cry

And the days feel like years when I'm alone

And the bed where you lie

Is made up on your side

When you walk away I count the steps that you take

Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone

The pieces of my heart are missing you

When you're gone

The face I came to know is missing too

When you're gone

The words I need to hear to always get me through the day

And make it ok

I miss you

I've never felt this way before

Everything that I do

Reminds me of you

And the clothes you left they lye on the floor

And they smell just like you

I love the things that you do

When you walk away I count the steps that you take

Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone

The pieces of my heart are missing you

When you're gone

The face I came to know is missing too

When you're gone

The words I need to hear to always get me through the day

And make it ok

I miss you

We were made for each other

Out here forever

I know we were

Yeaaaahhhh

All I ever wanted was for you to know

Everything I do I give my heart and soul

I can hardly breathe

I need to feel you here with me

Yeaahhh

When you're gone

The pieces of my heart are missing you

When you're gone

The face I came to know is missing too

When you're gone

The words I need to hear will always get me through the day

And make it ok

I miss you



Sempre necessitava temps pel meu compte 
Mai vaig pensar que t'anava a necessitar allà quan plorava 
I els dies semblen anys quan estic sola 
I el llit on tu descansaves 
Es compon del seu costat

Quan tu camines lluny jo conto els passos que fas 
Veus quant et necessito ara mateix? 

Quan te'n vas 
Els trossos del meu cor el troben a faltar 
Quan te'n vas   
Em falta la cara que vaig conèixer
Quan te'n  
Que sempre necessito sentir i fer-me sentir bé.  
I fer-ho bé 
Et trobo a faltar.

Mai m'he sentit així abans
Tot el que faig
Em recorda a tu
I la roba que vas deixar-te jeu a terra
I fan la mateixa olor que tu
M'encanten les coses que fas.

Quan tu camines lluny jo conto els passos que fas 
Veus quant et necessito ara mateix? 

Quan te'n vas 
Els trossos del meu cor el troben a faltar 
Quan te'n vas   
Em falta la cara que vaig conèixer
Quan te'n  
Que sempre necessito sentir i fer-me sentir bé.  
I fer-ho bé 
Et trobo a faltar.

Vam ser fets un per l'altre
Aquí fora per sempre
Sé que vam estar
Sí
Tot el que volia era tu sàpigues
Tot el que faig jo dono el meu cor i l'ànima
Gairebé no puc respirar
Necessito sentir-te aquí amb mi 
Sí

Quan te'n vas 
Els trossos del meu cor el troben a faltar 
Quan te'n vas   
Em falta la cara que vaig conèixer
Quan te'n  
Que sempre necessito sentir i fer-me sentir bé.  
I fer-ho bé 
Et trobo a faltar.

KOIZORA

During her freshman year in high school, Mika Tahara loses her cell phone, but later finds it in the school library with the help of an unknown caller. Throughout the summer, Mika and the mysterious caller continue to communicate, and agree to meet each other once school starts again. The caller turns out to be Hiro, a delinquent-like boy that Mika is initially afraid of, who shows proof of his identity as the caller with a photo of the sky on his cellular phone.

From her friends and through her first sexual encounter with Hiro, Mika learns that he had a girlfriend named Saki. Although Hiro reassures her that he broke up with her, Saki, who still is in love with Hiro, holds a vendetta against Mika and hires a group of men to rape her.

Mika later becomes pregnant after she and Hiro consummate in the school library. Hiro is thrilled by the news and both of them gain Hiro's parents' permission to raise the child together, although Mika's parents disapprove of the action. Despite this, Mika is determined to have the baby. After an altercation with Saki, the baby's birth ends in a miscarriage. Despaired, Mika and Hiro build a grave for their baby and promise each other to come visit the memorial yearly on the day of the baby's death. Shortly after their second year in high school begins, Hiro begins to distance himself from Mika and breaks up with her. Although hurt, Mika meets a college student named Yū at agōkon, who becomes sympathetic to her situation. The two date, and Yū even prevents Mika's parents from divorcing. On the day of the baby's death, Mika finds Hiro visiting the grave as per their promise. The next year, she continues to move on from Hiro; but she finds Hiro's friend there and she asks where's Hiro, he says that Hiro is at the hospital, ill.

Mika breaks up with Yū and finds Hiro in the hospital, diagnosed with cancer, with only three months left to live. Mika begins to visit the hospital daily, even taking an academic leave, to take care of Hiro, who slowly begins to show signs of recovery. Hiro's resolve to live becomes stronger until he dies during a check-up. Mika is saddened by Hiro's death and tries to commit suicide, but is stopped by a flock of birds flying towards her. She takes this as a sign of Hiro, in the sky, discouraging her from killing herself, and realizes through this and Hiro's journal that he would have wanted her to continue to live. Seven years later, she reflects on how her life had changed upon meeting Hiro, and that she is living happily with him and their baby in mind.

This movie is the best I have seen in my life. The story is sad but also beautiful. The main characters are very nice and I love their action in this film. I cried a lot with the end because it's sad but also pretty at the same time. 

Join in and view the movie! It's really freat :)
