My Old Friend Who Was Good At Drawing

夕闇に沈む 小さな影二つ
それは かつての男の子と女の子
口に出す「ごめん」と 遠い電車の音
目の前で君は泣いていた
性別のズレを誤魔化したがる 気休めは
ズルい気がして 言えなかった
絵の上手かった君が描いていた
架空の世界と もう会えないのかな
塗り潰されて 元に戻らない日々
絵を描く姿が好きだった
絵を描く姿は好きだったから
ノートに息づく 不可思議な生物
ありえない風景をこっそりと見せてくれた
自分にない物 君にはある魔法
楽しい反面 悔しくて
端々に想いがこぼれ落ちる
嫌いではなかったけれど
他に好きな人がいたから
絵の上手かった君は泣いていた
ノートの世界は笑顔に満ちてるのに
不器用なまま離れた 二人の距離
絵を描く姿が好きだった
絵を描く姿は好きだったから
幼い君の絵は たまにちょっと
何かに似てる時もあったけど
あえて黙ったまま
ずっと微笑んでたりして
絵の上手かった君が描いていた
架空の世界を ふとまた思い出すよ
今でも元気に 楽しく絵を描いてますか
絵を描く姿が好きだった
絵を描く姿は好きだったから
絵の上手かった友達の世界を
もう一度 すぐそばで見たかった

My Old Friend Who Was Good At Drawing

Two small figures sink into the evening dusk
They are a boy and a girl, as they once were
A mumbled "I'm sorry" and the distant sound of a train
Before me, you wept
My feeble attempts to downplay our conflicting genders as unimportant
felt like a lie, so I could not speak them
You, who were so talented at drawing
Drew a fantasy world, from which I am now excluded
Days painted over and beyond recovery
I loved watching you draw
Because I loved watching you draw
In your sketchbook, strange creatures came to life
You showed me impossible landscapes in secret
A magic you possessed that I did not
Delightful, but it made me bitter
As my feelings spilled out in every stroke
I didn't hate you
But I was in love with someone else
You, who were so talented at drawing
Wept, though your world on paper was filled with smiles
Our distance grew, as we both fumbled and parted ways
I loved watching you draw
Because I loved watching you draw
Your childhood drawings were sometimes
Slightly reminiscent of something
But I kept silent
And smiled constantly
You, who were so talented at drawing
Drew a fantasy world, which I sometimes recall
Are you still happily drawing, even to this day?
I loved watching you draw
Because I loved watching you draw
The world of my talented friend
I wished I could witness it again
