He was sitting on the corner with a bottle of beer. And the same shopping cart he’d been pushing for years. A big smile on his face like the first day of spring.
[It is Raining. Touma is standing in a subway station.]
All the people looked the other way, but they heard him sing. And he sang…
[Steam hisses as a train pulls in. The doors open.]
Love, Love is a sweet thing.
[ People walk out. Touma walks along the cars, trailing his hands on the wall, looking in the windows.]
He sang, Love. Love is a sweet thing.
[He keeps looking. He is almost to the doors.]
She shot out of Texas like a bullet from a gun.
[He reaches the doors. Kayura walks out. She carries a carpet bag.]
With a van full of hippies in a band on the run.
[They hug. She holds on to him, crying. She says something. Touma whispers something in her ear.]
She didn’t wanna be famous, she just wanted to play.
[She follows Touma to an apartment they had rented together.]
At old dive bars and pool halls, she got up on the stage.
And she sang…
[The phone rings. Touma picks it up. He rushes out the door, whispering something in her ear.]
Love. Love is a sweet thing.
[Kayura pulls out a robe, a towel and walks to the shower.]
She sang. Love.
[Kayura is in the shower, still crying. Tears stream down her face as she screams something to the mildew on the wall.]
Love is a sweet thing.
[Touma comes in the front door. He listens to the water running, hair plastered on his face.]
It’s every where you look. If you look hard enough.
[Touma thinks back. He remembers Kayura screaming at him. He comes back to the present, sitting down on the couch.]
It’s not really hard to see. And once you put your arms around it
[Kayura gets out of the shower. Putting on her robe, she goes to her room. She slumps against the wall, crying.]
You can never get too much. Love is a sweet thing. In the smile of a stranger.
[Touma walks into her room. He lifts her, carries her like he would an infant, and sets her down on the couch. He pets her head for a few seconds.]
In the eyes of a child. On the corner of a crowded street, it’s everywhere around us.
[They go to his bedroom.]
It’s always growing wild.
[He pulls her to him. They kiss.]
Love is a sweet thing.
[She pulls off the robe.]
Love.
[He pulls off his shirt and jeans.]
Love is a sweet thing.
[They undress. Kayura closes the door and shutters. She turns of the light and lights candles instead.]
He sang.
[Touma pulls off the comforter.]
She sang.
[Kayura gets scented oil.]
Love,
[Kayura sprinkles the bed with a scented oil.]
Love is a sweet thing.
[They fall into bed, forgetting all pain, knowing only love.]
[The video ends.]
