You talk about that person with such affectionate admiration
Your voice sounds so gentle, unlike anything I’ve heard before
Your eyes light up at the sound of a message
Ah, the real you, you smile with such a face
You say, with an innocent voice, “I can talk about anything”
I lie to you, “I’m the same way”
Just one secret, unaware, you smile with a dear side profile
If I keep watching you from afar
Will I remain without feeling like this?
Why am I so close to you?
Not even a single tear can fall in front of you
In front of overflowing feelings
I’m on the verge of drowning, my voice strained
I act as “my usual self” so you won’t notice
So as not to get hurt, so as not to expect anything
I’ve lived skillfully, but why is it only you
I want you to tease me about my overly trimmed bangs
You’re looking at distant places only
Just one word is enough, I want words from you that face me
What that person has, I don’t
Counting the things I lack makes me sad, but
It’s not a feeling that will disappear like that
In the future you envision
I want to be there too, but as I am
If I confess, by your side like this
I won’t be able to hear your voice, right?
The same meaning, the same warmth, the same color
If I could share such “love” with you
If I keep watching you from afar
Will I remain without feeling like this?
Why did I end up getting so close to you?
There’s no meaning in fingers that playfully touch
Even though I know, the wish won’t disappear
Keeping it hidden, always
I’ll put on a smile and act as “just a friend”
