A Mion and Shion character song! Potential spoilers!
Higurashi character songs have a tendency toward lyrical dissonance. Amazingly, this song doesn't really have any, though the bridge into the last chorus may hint at something more disturbing. It's basically just what it seems to be: A wistful song of unfulfilled love. There are some beautiful harmonies in each chorus, too. Meanwhile, the lyrics are riddled with a disturbing number of smileys, which I have faithfully reproduced here.
The lyrics booklet doesn't specify, but ■ = Mion and □ = Shion. It's really not that difficult to tell when listening to it, even though it's the same person singing both parts. In the interest of saving space and because I just don't like the way it looks with them, I'm omitting the parentheses the booklet puts around the symbols.
