私の進む先を阻むこの感情はいつまでも自分の重荷であり続けるのでしょうか。
ぶつかり合ってみて初めて生まれてきた気持ちがあった。この気持ちと正面から向き合うことにした。
私にとってはこれが心地いい、あなたにとっては?
人とその人の持つ視点の数だけ答えはかわってくる。黄色と藍色の間のように。

How long should I have lived with this feeling who try to shut me out from the way ahead? But I found that an unknown feeling would be born by clashing with her each other, so I try to face her.
This feeling is like overcoming something for me. How about you? The truth will change regarding the number of people and their perspectives, like the color between blue and yellow.
