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”
