Tomodachi

At first, your
relationship advice
I listened and encouraged

When it became tough
For some reason, I wanted
To talk to you first

Before I knew it
I was the one being supported

Just seeing you
laughing with another girl
makes me feel this way
Why is that?
It hurts so much
Even though you're still close by
I'm starting to have
unattainable hopes
I can't say
Because I'm still
your friend

We had a chance encounter
On the way back from winter
Walking along the riverbank together

Even the strong north wind
and numb fingers
seem okay

When a bike came from behind
and almost hit me
You pulled me aside
and saved me

Moments like this with you
will remain in the depths of my heart
So even when we're apart
It hurts my chest
Why is that?" - in a gentle voice
Do you treat others the same way?
I want you to say it's different
I can't say it out loud

If our relationship
doesn't turn into love
Then maybe it's better
to keep it locked in my heart

Just seeing you
laughing with another girl
makes me feel this way
Why is that?
It hurts so much
Even though you're still close by
I'm starting to have
unattainable hopes
I can't say
Because I'm still
your friend
