“I feel like it’s been so long since I have seen your smiling face. Light up the heart, in slow motion, as much as possible...”

They are in a war and people die, so Izuku hasn’t been been okay in awhile, and Katsuki has noticed, but hasn’t confronted him, because he doesn't know how.

“If this short night is our last, then I’m sure I’d go see you. That’s how even I feel, in a carefree way.”

Katsuki tried his best to be there for Izuku throughout the fight against Shigaraki and wanted to be there by his side regardless of the danger.

“Crying as we hold each other, we can’t even talk about the pain. I love you so much even with your weakness.”

Katsuki is always near Izuku but is bad with words, so he doesn't know how to give him the comfort he desperately needs in these dark times. Katsuki has grown to love Izuku despite all the flaws he always criticized him for, and has begun to see his weaknesses as something that helped make Izuku become strong.

“You should do a sketch and give it to me. Along with my feelings, please don’t laugh...“

I believe ‘sketch’ is a metaphor for a confession. I’ll go into more detail on this later, but basically Katsuki wants Izuku to confess his feelings/extend his hand and this time, he wouldn’t reject them.

“Please don’t go, I don’t want you to go either. We made carefree promises as we punched each other on the shoulder. Although one of us always failed to keep up our end, and it wasn’t me this time either.”

This is foreshadowing for Izuku leaving due to his existential crisis after Katsuki gets severely wounded protecting him. Katsuki didn’t want Izuku to go, but Izuku left him anyway, much to his dismay. He also acknowledges his past mistakes since he had left Izuku previously, but he also slanders Izuku rightfully so here saying that wasn’t the right thing for him to do and he understands that now.

“Your shaking hands were a signal yet I missed it so many times. Hey, a promise is just something to ‘keep. All I really want is to hold hands.’”

Katsuki never really understood Izuku until much later on, so he missed so much of his pain, and even made it worse on many occasions. He is now putting extra effort into doing his part, and starts by saving Izuku’s life and apologizing for his past mistakes as a hope to resolve the problems he caused between them so there aren’t anymore misunderstandings. He now wishes he could’ve held the hand of the four year-old Izuku who reached out to him, and it his biggest regret, because it caused so many years of conflict, and the current issues as well. Now, he is still waiting for his chance, and he just might get it once he comes back to life, since he’ll literally be getting a second chance at life.
