I can’t help but feel heartbroken… The lyrics, just like the song’s title, express a desire to put a “period” on feelings for you—they’re truly tear-jerking.

Trying to forget “you,” changing hairstyles and even moving, yet still being unable to sort out those feelings—there’s something of youthful love in that, isn’t there? If spring is when things begin, it’s also when things end.

A song by the rock band Kuusou Iinkai, active from 2008 to 2019, that tells a story of unrequited love set in spring.

In the lyrics, the protagonist is a man who falls for a woman he starts seeing every morning on the train.

He can’t help but think about her every day, trying to guess her favorite bands from the book she’s reading or the badges on her bag.

As he falls deeper and deeper in love, the twist is that she suddenly stops appearing on that train.

Even if your story doesn’t match these lyrics exactly, many people may relate to having a crush they looked forward to seeing on their morning commute.
