Love Letter
Ikuta Lilas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
あなたに言えなかったこと
便箋に託した
Dear どこかのあなた
宛名には昔よくなぞった 名前
あの頃どれだけ若くても確かな恋心は
大切に今も しまって いるよ
あなたとの 恋は
とても綺麗で淡くて
いびつでも形になれたね
触れなかった手の平は どんな風にあなたの思う人
包んでいくんだろ
溢れた 言葉 声になり損ねた思いが漂い
2人だけの空気は 甘い甘い1人芝居
心の裏すれ違い不器用で幼かった
私たち少しだけ大人に なった
心だけで繋いだ
あなたとの時が
とても綺麗で淡くて
少しだけ戻れた気がした
好きだと打ち明ける時は どんな風にあなたの思う人みつめるの
本当は こんな小さな文字で収まるはずがない
だけどいつもそうして生きたように
少しの我慢と少しの愛で
ラブレター
あなたの事だから
返事はいらない
Dear どこかのあなた いつまでも
元気でいて
The lyrics to Ikuta Lilas's song Love Letter express the feelings of someone who is writing a letter to their loved one, confessing their feelings that they were not able to say in person. The writer addresses the letter to someone they knew in the past and writes their name in a nostalgic way. The letter expresses how the writer has cherished their love all this time, even as they have grown older. They reveal that the love they shared with this person was pure and beautiful, and though it may have been unconventional, it took shape and blossomed despite their differences. The writer also wonders about the person they love and the people they might have touched or held hands with since they last spoke, yet they are not envious, only curious. They reflect on their younger selves and how they used to be clumsy and immature, but they have since grown and become wiser.
The lyrics also paint a picture of a world where only the writer and their lover exist. They describe the atmosphere as sweet and dreamy as if they are the only ones existing in their own little play. The love they once had has not been lost, and though they are apart, their heartstrings remain connected, and it fills them up with emotions they can't wholly articulate.
The theme of this song is lost love and longing, and it speaks to the human desire to connect, love and be loved. The writer of the letter may have missed their chance to express their love before or were perhaps too shy or insecure to confess, but they have taken a chance now, hoping their love will continue to exist in the heart of the person they care about forever.

I wrote the name you used to trace
あの頃どれだけ若くても確かな恋心は
No matter how young we were at the time, the love in our hearts was certain
大切に今も しまって いるよ
I still treasure it and keep it to this day
心だけで繋いだ
We were connected only by our hearts
あなたとの 恋は
Our love
とても綺麗で淡くて
It was so beautiful and delicate
いびつでも形になれたね
We may have been awkward, but we still managed to turn it into something tangible
触れなかった手の平は どんな風にあなたの思う人 包んでいくんだろ
I wonder what kind of person you'll hold in the hand you never touched
溢れた 言葉 声になり損ねた思いが漂い
Overflowing emotions and unsaid words linger
2人だけの空気は 甘い甘い1人芝居
The atmosphere between us was like a sweet, one-person play
心の裏すれ違い不器用で幼かった
We were awkward and immature, unable to express what was in our hearts
私たち少しだけ大人に なった
We've grown just a little bit more mature
あなたとの時が
The time I spent with you
少しだけ戻れた気がした
I felt like I could go back, if only for a little while
好きだと打ち明ける時は どんな風にあなたの思う人みつめるの
I wonder how you'll look at the person you love when you confess your feelings
本当は こんな小さな文字で収まるはずがない
In truth, these feelings of mine can't be contained in such small letters
だけどいつもそうして生きたように
But just like always, I'll keep living like this
少しの我慢と少しの愛で
With a little bit of patience and a little bit of love
ラブレター

あなたの事だから
It's because of you
返事はいらない
I don't need a reply
Dear どこかのあなた いつまでも
Dear someone out there, always
元気でいて
Take care, okay?
