ドアの隙間で鳴る距離 / Distance in the Doorframe

閉め忘れたカーテン　朝の光が渦巻きながら 君のいない部屋だけ　先に白く染まってく 昨夜のままのグラス　縁に残る乾いた輪 言えなかった言葉が　まだ形を保ってる 大きな理由なんて　どこにもなかったのに 少しずつだけ　歯車が狂い始めた 君がいない今日でも　君との時間は消えない 言葉にしなかった距離が　ドアの隙間で鳴っている 忘れるより残すことを　選んだ弱さの中で 僕らはただ　違う朝を　同じ光で迎える 重ならなくなった　帰り道の足音 選ばなくなっていた　似たような明日の色 触れられないほどじゃない　でも触れずにいた その曖昧な温度だけが　静かに続いていた 切った覚えもなくて　繋いだ覚えもないまま 関係はただ　名前を変えて　形を変えて 君がいない今日でも　君との時間は消えない 交わらないままの線が　どこか遠くで続いてる 消してしまうより　抱えておく強さを 僕らはただ　違う部屋で　同じ夜を分かち合う 思い出になるには　まだ温度がありすぎて それでいいと　胸の奥が　少しだけ軋んでる 別れの形を　そっと抱えたまま それぞれの今に　別の灯りを　静かに灯して Forgot to close the curtains Morning light swirling slow Only this empty room without you Turning pale before I know Last night’s glass on the table A dry ring left on the rim All the words I never told you Still holding on to their shape within There was never any big reason Nothing we could clearly name Just a little at a time All the gears slipped out of place Even in a day without you Time with you don’t fade away All the space we left unspoken Humming through the doorframe In this quiet kind of weakness Choosing not to let it go We just wake in different mornings Under the same light we know Footsteps fading from our rhythm On the way back home at night Stopped choosing the same tomorrows Same old colors, out of sight Not too far to touch each other Still we never reached again Only that uncertain warmth Softly lingering, never ends Never cut it, never held it Never knew just what to call All we had just changed its meaning Shifted shape without a fall Even in a day without you Time with you don’t fade away Lines that never cross between us Still run somewhere far away Rather than erase the feeling I just learned to let it stay We just live in separate rooms now Sharing one and the same night Not quite ready to be memories Still too warm to put away And somehow deep inside my chest Something bends but doesn’t break Holding on to what we called goodbye Softly, gently as it is Lighting different kinds of futures With different kinds of quiet bliss
