当たり障りのない話 | Atarisawari no nai hanashi | A Harmless Conversation

夕暮れ 近くにある商店街
ママから頼まれた買い物をして
小さな本屋で立ち読みしてたら
あなたが歩いて来た

あれから 何年が経ったのだろう?
普段着 何だか恥ずかしくなった
ずっと 片想いで終わった人
ちゃんと着替えればよかった

髪が短い今に そんなに驚くなんて
少しくらいは覚えていてくれた

付き合ってる人はいるのかな
一瞬 心の中で思った
聞きたくても まさか聞けるわけもない
そうお互い何をしてるのか
同級生はどうしているか
当たり障りのない話をした

二人はスマホを手にはしたけれど
LINEを教え合うこともないまま
やがて 昔話も尽きた頃
時間(とき)はまた動き出した

地元でばったり会う偶然は奇跡じゃない
考えてみればよくあることだよね

付き合ってる人はいるのかな
ただの好奇心の振りをした
彼女はいないよって言われたところで
どんなリアクションをすればいい
先の展開がわからなくて
ぎこちなく「じゃあね」と背中向けた

再会しても懐かしむだけ
もうあの頃に戻せやしないんだ

付き合ってる人はいるのかな
一瞬 心の中で思った
聞きたくても まさか聞けるわけもない
そうお互い何をしてるのか
同級生はどうしているか
当たり障りのない話をした

In the evening at a nearby shopping district
Out to get some things that my mom asked for
I was reading in a small book shop
When you walked in

How many years passed since that time?
My casual clothes feel embarassing
For that person who I had only love from afar
I should have worn something better

To be so surprised that my hair is short now
You must have remembered me somewhat

For a moment I even thought deep inside
If he was dating someone now
Even if I wanted to ask there's no way I could
So we just talked about what we are doing
And how our classmates are
We had a harmless chat

We both had our phones in our hands
But we never got eachothers' LINEs
Eventually we ran out of catch up chat
But time didn't stop

Bumping into each other in our home town isn't a miracle
Thinking about it it probably happens a lot

Are you dating someone now?
I pretended it was just curiosity
Then when he told me he was not
I didn't know what reaction to do
Or where to take things from there
So I clumsily said "see you" and left

Meeting again all I did was miss the past
It's not like I can ever return to then

For a moment I even thought deep inside
If he was dating someone now
Even if I wanted to ask there's no way I could
So we just talked about what we are doing
And how our classmates are
We had a harmless chat
