Waiting for... (k.r.i.)

時間過ぎた時計を　見上げてる
ボクは溜め息ついて　歩き出す
Jikan sugita tokei wo miageteru
Boku wa tameiki tsuite arukidasu
I look up at the clock that's past time.
I let out a sigh, and start walking.

夕暮れから夜へ　変わる街
待ち続けたボクを　置いてゆく
Yuuguru kara yoru ni kawaru machi
Machitsuzuketa boku wo oiteyuku
The town, changing from dusk to night,
Leaves me behind, still waiting. 「来れなくてもいいから　待ってる」と
君の返事聞かずに　抜け出した
Korenakutemo ii kara matteru to
Kimi no henji kikazu ni nukedashita
"It's okay if you can't come, so I'll be waiting", I said.
Without listening for your answer, I slipped away.

あの時立ち止まり　振り向けば
困る君の顔が　見られたね
Ano toki tachidomari furimukeba
Komaru kimi no kao ga mirareta ne
If I'd stopped, and turned around,
I would have been able to see your troubled face. 好きな人いる事は　知ってたよ
諦めきれないのも　気付いた
Suki na hito iru koto wa shitteta yo
Akiramekirenai no mo kitzuita
I knew you were in love1 with someone else.
And I realized you hadn't given up.

叶わない約束　来ないのが
君の優しさだと分かってる
Kanawanai yakusoku konai no ga
Kimi no yasashisa da to wakatteru
You didn't make a promise you couldn't keep,
Because you are kind, I know.

歩きながら星空　見上げてる
欲しかった微笑の　まぼろしを
消して行こう　この空に
Arukinagara hoshizora miageteru
Hoshikatta hohoemi no maboroshi wo
Keshite yukou kono sora ni
While walking, I look up at the starry sky.
The vision of that smile I wanted,
Disappears, into that sky.


Notes
1 in love: the word he uses here is "suki",
which is actually closer to "like", but in this context
I think it can basically be considered "love".
