kimi wa ima doko ni ima aitai no ni

The lyrics to Capsule's song 愛してる愛してない (Aishiteru Aishitenai) are about the conflicting feelings of love and uncertainty. The first verse talks about the singer wanting to meet their loved one, but knowing that they can't due to some undisclosed reason. This feeling of unease is contrasted with the happy world of "I love you, I don't love you" that exists within the song. In the second verse, the singer is physically close to their loved one, but still feels distant due to the lack of communication. Despite their attempts to have a conversation, the loved one is unresponsive, leaving the singer feeling like they are throwing a tantrum or being ignored.
Overall, the song seems to be about the push and pull of love and how it can lead to contradictory emotions. The happiness of the chorus is almost sarcastic, as it contrasts with the unease and unhappiness of the verses. It could be interpreted as a criticism of the way that people communicate in relationships, with dishonesty and avoidance leading to confusion and tension.
