たったひとつ (Tatta hitotsu) – Just one
from Kimi no erabu michi single.
——
When the gardenias bloom in profusion
I send my thoughts to you from under a faraway sky
“How have you been?” I write in a letter
Sorry for always pretending to be too busy
Your warm smile and the time we spent
All of it are my treasures
Before the days sped by so quickly
I think I’d noticed that just a little
If only I could have honestly said “thank you”
But your kindness had already moved far away
I regret making you worry
The light shining on this vacant room
Started to take on a slightly lonely shade
I’ve always been weak, even today
I’m just acting tough
Speaking words contrary to my emotions
Unknowingly, unknowingly hurting you
My tears flow without stopping as I say “thank you”
This love which has remained unchanged since we were young
Still soothes my heart even now
Because it is formless, I’ve always longed to have it
If only I can just grasp one precious thing
In truth, you protected me more than anyone else did
I’ll dash now straight
Towards you
“Thank you”
“Sorry”
“I’m back”
[Welcome back]
You greeted me with countless smiles
“How have you been? I’m happy”

KANJI
クチナシの花咲き誇るころ
遠い空の下 想いはあなたへ
“お元気ですか？” 手紙を書くよ
いつも忙しいフリしてごめん
暖かな笑顔も時間も
全てが宝物
足早に過ぎる日々の前で
ほんの少し気づけた気がした
「ありがとう」素直に伝えられたらいいのに
あなたの優しさ遠ざけてしまう
心配させては後悔してる私
からっぽの部屋に 灯す明りは
何だか寂しく色づき始めた
弱虫な私は今日まで
強がってばかりで
うらはらな言葉振りかざしては
知らず知らず傷つけていたね
「ありがとう」涙がとめどなく溢れてく
小さな頃から変わらない愛は
今でも私の心を撫でてくれる
形無いものだから 欲しがり続けてしまったの
大切なものを一つだけ 手にできればいいのに
本当は誰より守られていたんだね
まっすぐあなたのもとへと
駈けて行くよ
「ありがとう」
「ごめんね」
「ただいま」
『おかえりなさい』
何度も何度も笑顔で応えた
「お元気でしたか？私は幸せです」
