PAPER DOLL

[masa]

The lyrics, melody and arrangement were by the same persons as "NOTHING FROM NOTHING".

The alarm of the clock began to ring as usual. I got out of bed, rubbing my drowsy eyes, drew the curtains apart and greeted the sun. "Good morning." I cheered up myself to be lively that day. An encounter in a train on the way to school. When I thought it was just because of the season that I expected such love like a TV drama, I was tapped on the shoulder. "Is it me? Unbelievable !" I turned my face. And it was actually the beginning of love with him. We exchanged good night messages by E-mail before sleeping every day after that. "Let's go to the movies on next Sunday, after meeting in front of IMS." I thought I was so lucky. Thank you, PAPER DOLL.

We've had a happy time every day for half a year since then. Nothing has changed particularly, but we don't get along well and often quarrel lately. Though they are over trivial matters, I can't be gentle somehow. I know in my heart I should better say a word, "Sorry", but why can't I? When he says, "You are not gentle," for example, I say unnecessary words in spite of myself. So BAD ! I don't know what I should do. What a sad song I'm listening to as, "We are no longer what we were at that time"! Please tell me, PAPER DOLL.

The map we drew together unfinished is carefully put in my season ticket case. You do so, too, don't you? I hope so. It was written in a magazine that love is an illusion. How easy if I could think so ! Whenever I'm in such a mood, I unfold the map I put away. You were in the habit of saying, "No good to look back upon the past always." Your words have changed me. It has happened to me for the first time. Good-bye to the tears and sighs from today forth. I like to see you with a smile soon. It should be fine tomorrow. Arigatoo, thank you, PAPER DOLL.

Itsumo to kawarazu, mezamashi no bell narihajimeru. Nemui me kosuri bed o nukedasu. Curtain ake taiyoo ni aisatsu. "Ohayoo." Kyoo mo ichinichi ganbaroo. Tookoo tochuu, densha no naka no deai. Drama mitai na ren'ai kitai shi-teru nante kisetsu no sei, nante omotte itara, kata tatakare. "E, watashi? Masaka !" Furimuku to genjitsu ni. Sore ga kare to no hajimari. Sore kara mainichi neru mae ni, teleme de oyasumi message. "Nichiyoobi ni wa eiga demo miyoo ne. Machiawase wa IMS no mae de." Ii koto aru jan. Thank you, PAPER DOLL.

Are kara tanoshii mainichi ga tsuzuki, hantoshi to iu jikan ga tachi. Nani ga kawatta wake demo nai noni, saikin kenka bakari, surechigai. Riyuu mo sasai na koto nano ni, nazeka sunao ni narenai watashi. "Gomen ne", tte hitokoto ieba iitte kokoro de wakatte iru noni, nande? "Sunao ja nee na," nante iwarechau to, tsui tsui yokei na koto itte shimau no. Moo, choo BAD ! Doo sureba ii noka wakannai yo. "Ano koro ni wa moo modorenai," nante, nante kanashii uta kiiterun daroo. Oshiete yo, PAPER DOLL.

Futari ga egaita chizu wa tsukurikake na mama, daiji ni teikiire no naka ni chan to shimatteru no. Anata mo soo deshoo? Da to ii kedo. "Koi wa sakkaku," zasshi ni notteta. Donnanika raku, soo omoetara. Sonna toki hodo, shimatta hazu no chizu o itsumo hirogete shimau no. "Furikaette bakari ja dame da," tte, soo kuchiguse no yoo ni itteta ne. Anata no kotoba ga watashi o kaeta. Konna koto hajimete datta. Kyoo kara namida to tameiki ni sayonara. Itsuka egao de aitai na. Kitto ashi-ta wa hareru hazu. Arigatoo, thank you, PAPER DOLL.
