Indeed its a SAD song.
Talking about 2 good friends who is going to split up and go on their own way in life. They are sad about the farewell and promised to "not forget" the good old memories they shared since all those years they've been together. And so, they believe one day in future, they will meet each other again. ;') So sadddd ryte??
Originally by ZONE but the anime uses the cover version by the voice actresses. Both are nicely sung. I bet if u watched that anime, u'll cry like u're not urself. 'Coz the anime is about a deceased girl whose soul still remained together with her childhood friends so to realize a promise which was made before her death..
So yea.. Enjoy the song! Especially dedicated to my friends (^_^)/
I'm really really glad that we still keep in touch and I wish ALL THE BEST to you, no matter where you are and what u're doing. Please continue to keep in touch with me. And I love you guys! <3

English Translation
Secret Base ~What You Gave Me~
I'll never forget being with you at the end of summer
With our dreams of the future and big hopes
I believe that ten years later in August,
we'll meet again
Such great memories...
We met in a sudden instant at the intersection on the way home
And you called out to me, and said "Let's go home together"
I was so bashful that I hid my face with my bag
But I was so very, very happy
Ah, the fireworks burst in the night sky so nicely, it kinda hurts
Ah, the wind flows by with the time
We had so many happy, fun adventures
Together in our secret base
I'll never forget being with you at the end of summer
With our dreams of the future and big hopes
I believe that ten years later in August, we'll meet again
I knew that, until the end, you were shouting
"Thank you" from the bottom of your heart
Farewell while smiling and holding back tears is so hard
Such great memories...
Ah, summer break will end soon
Ah, I hope the sun and moon make friends
We had so many sad, lonely arguments
Together in our secret base
I knew that, until the end, you were shouting
"Thank you" from the bottom of your heart
Farewell while smiling and holding back tears is so hard
Such great memories...
Nothing can be done about your sudden transfer
I'll write, and call
So don't forget me
Forever, in our secret base
With you at the end of summer, we talked on and on
After the setting sun, we gazed at the stars
I'll never forget the tear that flowed down your cheeks
I won't forget
The way you waved to me until the very end
So let's stay this way in our dreams, forever...
I'll never forget being with you at the end of summer
With our dreams of the future and big hopes
I believe that ten years later in August, we'll meet again
I knew that, until the end, you were shouting
"Thank you" from the bottom of your heart
Farewell while smiling and holding back tears is so hard
Such great memories...
Such great memories...
<3
