is this LOVE?

[masa]

When I followed your tender gaze
She was smiling and nodding
With a sweet and happy look
With her thin shoulders

I felt as if something had collapsed
With a loud noise
But actually I was just stuck and standing there

I didn't ask you such an absurd and stupid question as
"Why isn't it me?"
But you looked like a stranger to me
And I just felt you were far away
What should I call such a feeling?

Because I came to know the reason for the sadness in your eyes
You sometimes show me

I also realized
That it was not me, nor someone else
But only one person who can do something for you

I pretended to notice at last
"Since when have I been so attracted by you?"
Fooling myself with transparent lies
But it only made me feel even more empty
I wonder if people call such a feeling love

I didn't ask you such an absurd and stupid question as
"Why isn't it me?"
But you looked like a stranger to me
And I just felt you were far away

I pretended to notice at last
"Since when have I been so attracted by you?"
Fooling myself with transparent lies
But it only made me feel even more empty
It must be that people call such a feeling love

あなたが優しく見つめる視線の
先では細い肩をしてる
彼女が優しく幸せそうな顔で
笑いながら頷いてた

何かが大きな音を立てながら
崩れて行ったような気がしたんだけど
身動き出来ずただ立ちつくしてただけ

どうして私じゃないのって滑稽でくだらない
問い掛けなんてしないけど
私が見た事ないようなあなたがそこには居て
ただただ遠くに感じたの
こんな気持ち一体なんて言ったらいい

あなたが時々見せる悲しい瞳の
理由を知ってしまったから

何かしてあげる事が出来るのは
私でもなくて誰かでもなくて
ただ一人だけなんて事もわかったの

いつからあなたにこんなに惹かれていたのなんて
今頃気付いたフリして
見え透いた嘘とかついて誤魔化してみたんだけど
ただただ余計虚しくて
こんな気持ちを人は恋だと呼ぶのかな

どうして私じゃないのって滑稽でくだらない
問い掛けなんてしないけど
私が見た事ないようなあなたがそこには居て
遠くに感じてしまったの

いつからあなたにこんなに惹かれていたのなんて
今頃気付いたフリして
見え透いた嘘とかついて誤魔化してみたんだけど
ただただ余計虚しくて
こんな気持ちをきっと恋だって言うのね
