Pretender

Our love story
It's as expected
Once it begins, it's a solo act
Even though I've always been by your side
In the end, I'm just a spectator

Emotionless, I'm sorry
It's always the same
Once you get used to it, it's not so bad
Our romance, by nature of life
I knew it wouldn't continue

If only in a different setting
If only in a different relationship
If I could choose a different worldline where we met
If only with different personalities
If only with different values
I wish I could convey my love
But it's futile to wish for that

Goodbye
I'm not your destined one
It's painful, but I can't help it
Yet, I can't let go
Just by touching your hair
It hurts, even if I don't want it to
It's bittersweet

Goodbye
Then what are you to me?
The answer is unknown
I don't even want to know
If there's one thing that's certain
It's that you are beautiful

Someone's fake
Lonely love story
Nothing resonates
It's like looking down at the night view
Of an unknown city from an airplane window

If only in a different setting
If only in a different relationship
If I could choose a different worldline where we met
With a pure heart
Embracing fulfilled love
I wish I could say I love you irresponsibly
But it's empty to wish for that

Goodbye
At the end of our held hands, there's an end line
In the journey that stretches out
In the future that throbs
You're not there, and that fact makes me cry
It's painful and tough

Goodbye
I'm not your destined one
It's painful, but I can't help it
Yet, I can't let go
Just by touching your hair
It hurts, even if I don't want it to
It's bittersweet

Goodbye
Then what are you to me?
The answer is unknown
I don't even want to know
If there's one thing that's certain
It's that you are beautiful

If this is all part of the romance's fate
It's not so bad
Even without eternity or promises
It's still very beautiful
