  About the AMV
  
  The plot of this AMV strongly relates to the song, "1000 Words", a song about hopeful love and empowerment of a person, involving distance and time.
  
  I've tried my best to preserve the "sequence" of 5cm Per Second; for example, the opening of this AMV is very much the same introduction in 5cm Per Second.
  
  The Making of the AMV
  
  Software used was Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0, and "production time" was approximately 7 hours: 5 hours (1 am - 6 am) to select scenes and get a rough idea of placement, and 2 hours (4 pm - 6 pm the next day) to smoothen out the scenes, fix any transitional glitches and synchronize the scenes to the song.
  
  Lyrics
  
  I know that you're hiding things
  Using gentle words to shelter me
  Your words were like a dream
  But dreams could never fool me
  Not that easily
  
  I acted so distant then
  Didn't say goodbye before you left
  But I was listening
  You'll fight your battles far from me
  Far too easily
  
  "Save your tears 'cause I'll come back"
  I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door
  But still I swore to hide the pain when I turn back the pages
  Shouting might have been the answer
  What if I'd cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart?
  But now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart
  
  Though a thousand words
  Have never been spoken
  They'll fly to you
  Crossing over the time and distance holding you
  Suspended on silver wings
  
  And a thousand words
  One thousand confessions
  Will cradle you
  Making all of the pain you feel seem far away
  They'll hold you forever
  
  The dream isn't over yet
  Though I often say I can forget
  I still relive that day
  You've been there with me all the way
  I still hear you say
  
  "Wait for me, I’ll write you letters"
  I could see how you stammered with your eyes to the floor
  But still I swore to hide the doubt when I turn back the pages
  Anger might have been the answer
  What if I'd hung my head and said that I couldn't wait?
  But now I'm strong enough to know it's not too late
  
  'Cause a thousand words
  Call out through the ages
  They'll fly to you
  Even though I can't see, I know they're reaching you
  Suspended on silver wings
  
  Oh, a thousand words
  One thousand embraces
  Will cradle you
  Making all of your weary days seem far away
  They'll hold you forever
  
  Oh, a thousand words
  Have never been spoken
  They'll fly to you
  They'll carry you home and back into my arms
  Suspended on silver wings, ohhhh
  
  And a thousand words
  Call out through the ages
  They'll cradle you
  Turning all of the lonely years to only days
  They'll hold you forever
