指跡

読みかけの頁に On the page I left half-read 君の字が残る your handwriting still remains 鉛筆で引いた線 a line you drew in pencil 続きは白紙 and after it, only blank paper めくれば終わる If I turn the page, it ends 怖くて ただ so afraid, I only 角を撫でていた kept stroking the corner 季節だけ過ぎる while the seasons passed me by 閉じたままの栞 The bookmark, still closed inside まだここにいるよ I'm still right here 閉じれば楽なのに It would be easier to close it 読み返す yet I read it again さよならの前の In the one line 一行で just before goodbye 君が笑ってた you were smiling 今も even now 褪せていく表紙を I set the fading cover 陽だまりに置いた down in a patch of sunlight 君の指の跡だけ only the trace of your fingers 消えずにいる refuses to fade 忘れることが If forgetting 優しさなら is a kindness ずっと覚えてる I'll keep remembering わがままでいい let me be selfish 閉じたままの栞 The bookmark, still closed inside まだここにいるよ I'm still right here 閉じれば楽なのに It would be easier to close it 読み返す yet I read it again さよならの前の In the one line 一行で just before goodbye 君が笑ってた you were smiling 今も even now 栞を外して I take out the bookmark 次の頁へと and turn to the next page 閉じた本の熱 The warmth of the closed book 忘れないから I won't forget it 白紙の上 On the blank page ありがとうと "thank you" 書いてみるよ I'll try to write
