はみ出す勇気もなくて

今日も愛想纏って

のらりくらり

駆け出す人気者見て

作り笑い

君は私と似ていたんだ

止まない雨の音が

「嫌いじゃない」って

微笑んだ

その顔が

暖かくて

少し熱が出る

「本当はね私なんて」

喉まで出掛かる言葉

大切なこの時間が

壊れる気がして飲み込んだ

夕暮れ校庭

走るクラスメイト

見慣れた景色

自問に耽る

私はいつまで

私を隠すのだろう

*(私は音楽が好き。特にジャズ、ロック、クラシック。ジャズの何が好きかって？言い尽くせないけど一番は歴史かな。先人の音楽家たちの試行錯誤とそれらが切り開いてきた数々の演奏スタイルが私の知的好奇心を魅了して止まないの。他にもね…あれ？ねぇ、ちょっと、聞いてる…？)*

休みの日はいつでも

私を隠さず過ごせた

その筈がわからなくて

少し熱が出る

「本当はね私なんて」

喉まで出掛かる言葉

大好きなこの時間が

壊れる気がして飲み込んだ

本当はね本当はね

大切なこの気持ちが

バレてもいいよ

君になら

I don't have the courage to stand out today

so I idly

wear my friendly facade.

The way you'd look at the popular kid running off

and force a smile

was a lot like me.

"I don't hate the sound"

of the neverending rain,

he said with a smile.

Your face was warm,

even a little bit feverish.

"The truth is I..."

The words that were on the tip of my tongue

felt like they would ruin this precious time.

So I swallowed them.

A classmate running

through the schoolyard at sunset.

Lost in thought

over the familiar scenery.

How much longer

do I need to keep concealing myself?

*(I love music. Especially jazz, rock, and classical. What do I like about jazz? It's hard to describe but I'd say the number one reason is the history. The experimentation done by musicians before us and the many styles they've pioneered never fails to fascinate my intellectual curiosity. There's also–Huh? Hold on, hey, are you even listening...?)*

I could always spend my weekends

as my bare and true self.

Unable to realize something so obvious,

I get a little feverish.

"The truth is I..."

The words that were on the tip of my tongue

felt like they would ruin this time I loved so much.

So I swallowed them.

The truth is... I...

I don't care if this feeling that's so important to me

gets found out

as long as it's you.
