ロスト・ラブ

“さよなら” と書いた走り書き
テーブルの上に置ききれず
両手で握りしめたまま
あなたの部屋を出てきたの
  たった4つの小さなひらがなで
  気持ちを伝えるのは無理ね
  あなたにすまない気がするし
  淋しすぎるわ
 
  LOST LOVE 私はまだ
  LOST LOVE 青すぎるわ
  LOST LOVE 幸せにね
  LOST LOVE さよなら
 
私には優しすぎたから
わがままになったみたいです
別れたあとも友達で
ときどき お茶を飲みたいわ
  いいえ、愛していたのは本当です
  あなたを裏切るわけじゃない
  電話にかさねた指先が
  ふるえているわ
 
  LOST LOVE 若すぎたの
  LOST LOVE お互いさま
  LOST LOVE 幸せにね
  LOST LOVE お別れね
 
  LOST LOVE 私はまだ
  LOST LOVE 青すぎるわ
  LOST LOVE 幸せにね
  LOST LOVE さよなら

Lost Love

"Goodbye", I wrote in a haste...
...but couldn't bring myself to put the note on the table
With both hands clasped tightly,
...I just left your room
With merely 4 small hiragana letters (*さ よ な ら),
...it's impossible to convey my feelings
I'm really sorry for doing this to you
Ah, I miss you so much
 
I'm still...
...too immature
I wish you nothing but happiness
Goodbye, my lost love
 
You were too kind to me so...
...I became spoiled
Even after we part ways, let's keep being friends,
...I want to have some tea with you sometime
Don't get me wrong, I did really love you
It's not because of another guy; I'll never ever betray you
Holding the phone tightly, my fingers are...
...trembling
 
We were too young;
...both of us
Please be happy
I guess this is it
 
I'm still...
...too immature
I wish you nothing but happiness
Goodbye, my lost love
