1.The school bell rings
2.Its bittersweet chime sinking into my heart
3.We talk about silly things
4.Then fall into silence5.
6.You’re so dedicated to your dreams
7.Just for a moment—
8.I wish you’d turn my way
9.Even just for a moment10.
11.Will this become
12.A distant memory one day?
13.Will I tell
14.Some future lover about these soft feelings?15.
16.Today, once again
17.I lock my feelings for you inside my heart
18.I wave goodbye and head home
19.I don’t need a bond—I want your feelings
20.I pretend we’re just friends—how unfair of me
21.I couldn’t say “I like you.”
22.Tomorrow, I will23.
24.A short date on our way home
25.I slow my pace just a little
26.In an instant, the walk is over
27.And I watch your back as you leave28.
29.I turn around, hoping
30.Wishing you’d feel the same
31.But you keep walking forward
32.Eyes on a far-off dream
33.Never looking back34.
35.Today, I won’t
36.Think about you anymore
37.There are other fun things in life
38.If I cry in the bath, maybe I can forget
39.Pretending to do my homework, I find myself thinking of you again—
40.Just for a moment
41.I hope you think of me too42.
43.If I told you
44.What would you do?
45.If it didn’t work out
46.I’d laugh it off as a joke
47.And we’d go back to being friends
48.Would I still be able to chase my dreams with you?49.
50.Today, once again
51.I sing alone, thinking of you
52.A love song too clumsy to express my heart
53.When that flower blooms, I’ll finally say it—
54.“I like you.”55.
56.Today, once again
57.I lock my feelings for you inside my heart
58.I wave goodbye and head home
59.I don’t need a bond—I want your feelings
60.I pretend we’re just friends—how unfair of me
61.I couldn’t say “I like you.”
62.Tomorrow, I will
63.But maybe
64.It’s okay if I never do
