Zooming, diving, aaand you miss
To catch me in this dark abyss
June, July and August fun
But you can’t see me in the sun
You try, you fail. Give in I won’t.
Now you see me, now you don’t.

&quot;I&#039;d been wondering all this time, whether there&#039;s any meaning to a failed love. Is it something that will disappear the same as something that never existed. Now I know, there is meaning..there was a meaning...right here.&quot; &ndash; Takemoto [Honey and Clover]

It is not modeled after a set beat. It is its own pattern.
