Hey, if the moment this relationship
Gets a name attached to it
There's no turning back
Is it better to just stay friends for now?
Spring chime, heart begins to slide
Sub-word emotions riding the beat
The two-character startup tone:"I like you"—
Today's the day I press the start button
After school on the rooftop, orange afterimage
Faint turmoil of the city far beyond the fence
Silly chatter, a waste of time
Yet being together is the ultimate reward
Memories of middle school, air in the club room
A cycle where scores and breathing synchronize
Accidental assembly, an inevitable frequency
Before I knew it, next to you became my address
Fading out into the night with casual talk
Time times out only during deep conversations
Short messages in notifications, emotions compressed
A single silence becomes the loudest blast
Attempted border crossing under the guise of friendship
An extended replay without stepping across
Addiction to comfort, a normal-temperature high
This relationship itself is abnormal
Reason hits the brakes, emotion steps on the gas
If the balance breaks, everything gets shuffled
The true identity of this so-close yet distant space
A glass boundary that shatters if touched
Don't want to steal you, don't want to be stolen
Pretty words alone won't settle this
Playing the hero doesn't suit me either
I just want to be in your future
Hey, in the reason why you smile
What percentage of me is included?
This heart's log that defies analysis
I'm overwriting the answer today
"I like you"—just two short tones
Yet with only that, the world vibrates
Don't want to break it, don't want to change it
Being by your side, that's my only hope
"I like you"—it's almost scary
Feels like the shape of the future is about to change
More than friendship, less than love
This instability is our heartbeat
Someone's rumor, a fast newsflash in the wind
Feigning calmness while my heart runs wild
Am I the protector, or the pursuer?
An emotional structure with unassigned roles
Looking up at your back, sunset shining through
An effect mixing impatience and respect
Every time I imagine a future catching up
Confidence and anxiety take turns rising
A distance that a casual vibe won't reach
Days built up are the story of proof
It's not an impulse, nor a planned scheme
The only theory written by time
Won't make you feel like you can't refuse
The choice is yours, not infringing on your freedom
Preparing a way out—that's kindness too
Love that doesn't bind—that is correctness
Present continuous, an unfinished relationship
No one can control the confirmation of the future
With just a"Thank you,"
I've managed to survive up until here
If you get a boyfriend, it'll probably collapse
So rather than silence, full disclosure of feelings
Possibility of losing everything—fully understood
Even so, stepping out on a youth voyage
"I like you"—the moment I voiced it
Light pierced right into the depths of my chest
Doesn't have to be special
The fact that I conveyed it is my treasure
"I like you"—I'm trembling
Don't want to run from this reality
Not an ending, but a beginning—
That's what I want to convince myself
Even if starting tomorrow
You become distant from me
Only today's sunset
I can say was not a lie
The reason the lengths of our side-by-side shadows
Were just a little bit different—
I feel like I understand now:
I was the only one standing still
"I like you"—now and forever
The resolve to embrace both affirmation and denial
White Day—along with this song
An unfinished truth handed to you
"I like you"—just with that
A person can become this strong
Turning the next page of friendship—
That's me today
The chime rings, accelerating the story
Emotions accelerating toward an unreturnable place
Yesterday when we laughed and said"No way,"
Can no longer reach the me of today
This prologue that used to be friendship
An epilogue called love
Leaving the answer entrusted to you
Even so, this love exists right here
