愛さない
Kiroro Lyrics

Kiroro's song 愛さない is a poignant ballad about a former lover who has gone down different paths in life. The lyrics are straightforward, expressing heartbreak and the realization that no matter how difficult it is, sometimes love cannot be sustained. The chorus emphasizes the feelings of regret and longing that come with the end of a relationship. The first verse speaks to the difficult truth, "I can't love, I can't love you anymore, we started walking separate paths, I don't hate you, I can't hate you, because you were someone I once loved." The second verse laments the fading memories of a love that can't be reignited, "I remember how to kiss you, and how warm it was, but I've gotten used to suppressing my voice as I cry."

The repeated lines of the chorus, "I'll love you forever, I'll always think of you, I'll love you forever, surely I'll think of you," are especially poignant as they convey a deep-seated desire to hold on to love and the past despite knowing it's impossible. This song can resonate with anyone who has ever experienced heartbreak or the pain of unrequited love. The bittersweet melody and gentle acoustic guitar strums, give the song a gentle, melancholy feeling that captures the emotion of the lyrics.
