手紙
田﨑あさひ Lyrics

渡せなかった 君への手紙
This is a letter that I couldn't give to you.

クローゼットの奥 見つけた
I found it, stored away at the back of the closet.

心の奥が 痛む理由は
The reason why I feel pain deep in my heart is

まだ君が消えないから
because you’re still not gone.

君を見送るホームで
On the platform where I saw you off.

うまく目も見れなくって
I couldn't even look at you clearly.

鳴り響くベルが さよならを告げた
The ringing bell told us it was time to say goodbye.

「大好きだよ」 言えないまま
Without being able to say "I love you"

遠ざかってゆく列車が 見えなくなるまで
Until the train that carries you fades from view.

手を振ったよ
I waved goodbye.

いつも二人 歩いた帰り道
The way we always walked home together.

おんなじ景色が 涙でにじんだ
The scenery we both saw now blurs with tears.

隣の席で 居眠りしてた
You were sleeping in the seat next to me.

君の前髪 風に揺れる
Your hair swaying in the wind.

そんな些細な 君のすべてを
All of these little parts of you.

この胸が覚えてるの
My heart remembers them all.

小さな私の頭に
In my small head,

そっと手のひらを乗せて
You gently placed your hand on top.

「元気でね」と言った 君は泣いてたの?
You said "Take care" but were you crying?

「大好きだよ」 綴った手紙
It's a letter where I wrote "I love you".

長い間 どこかへ隠してた気持ち
The feelings that I've kept hidden somewhere for a long time.

今 溢れる
Are overflowing now.

言えなかった 素直なこの気持ち
This honest feeling I couldn't say.

涙で流れて インクがにじんだ
A tear stains my ink on the page.

「大好きだよ」 言えないまま
Without being able to say "I love you"

終わった恋は 大事な想い出にしなきゃ
Even though our love has ended, I have to treasure it as a memory.

そう ゆっくり
Yes, slowly.

いつか君が この町戻ったら
When someday you return to this town,

いつもの笑顔で 「おかえり」を言うよ
I'll greet you with my usual smile and say, "Welcome back."

君への手紙は 心にしまって
I'll keep this letter to you in my heart.
