Tokyo Story Page #7

---

Often, there are days

when I don't think of him at all.

Sometimes I feel

I can't go on like this forever.

Often I lay awake at night wondering

what will become of me if I remain alone.

Days pass and nothing happens,

and I feel so alone.

In my heart,

I seem to be waiting for something.

- I'm just being selfish.

- No, you're not.

Yes, I am.

But I couldn't say this to mother.

That's all right.

You truly are a good woman.

An honest woman.

Not at all.

This watch belonged to her.

It's rather old-fashioned...

...but she used it

since she was your age.

Please take it as a memento.

- But I...

- Please take it.

I'm sure she'd be very happy

if you used it.

Please take it.

Thank you.

Please believe me when I say

that I want you to be happy.

I mean it sincerely.

It's strange...

We have children of our own...

...yet you've done the most for us,

and you're not even a blood relative.

Thank you.

You must be feeling lonely

with them all gone.

It was so sudden, wasn't it?

Well, she was a headstrong woman...

...but if I'd known things

would come to this...

...I'd have been kinder to her

while she was alive.

Living alone,

I think the days will seem very long.

Absolutely.

You'll feel lonely.

The End
