Title: ガーネット, Garnet
Lyrics, composition and performance by Oku Hanako

English lines were translated from the original by me.

"Garnet" is an anime theme song for "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time", and "Kawaranaimono (= Unchanging Things)" is also a theme song for it, therefore these two songs are Twins. "Garnet" is sung by feelings of Makoto (girl) for Chiaki (boy), while "Unchanging Things" is sung by feelings of Chiaki for Makoto. They love each other indeed, but too late to realize it in the complex situations.
Please listen to the both songs on my account.

The anime's details and the story are explained in Wiki.

"Garnet", known as the birthstone of January, is also a symbol of Faithfulness, Affection, and Friendship. Many legendary stories remain about this stone, for example, a crusader presented his lover the stone as the testimony of affection, or exchanged the stone with his friends as the testimony of friendship.
