By someone
I can’t say it fast and you’re caught by someone
You hate this me, don’t you?
You’re amazing when you’re confused
This me isn’t good enough, is it?
This chest is trembling
This love is crying
So that I’m not in this sad, unrequited love
Hold me
Because you’re shining
I can’t escape you any longer
******
Just thinking, not saying
There is just one crush that I regret. Our schools were different, but we met through friends and I fell in love at first sight. She had a healing atmosphere and a pretty voice. We played once together and I came to like her more. But since then I hadn’t been able to meet her. Occasionally I’d call, but I couldn’t tell her my feelings, and like that half a year passed.
Then one day, I called and was told, “I have a boyfriend.” (bitter smile) Oh my gosh, I thought, and my head felt like it was being attacked. While I couldn’t tell her my feelings she got a boyfriend! It’s a lie, right? I thought. “I also liked you,” I said, and even though I told her like that, the reply that came was, “Sorry.” That was THE END.
After I hung up the phone I cried. That was the first time I had cried because of love. I was sad from being dumped, wondered what in the world I’d been doing, and was very miserable. I think if I were to have expressed my feelings then, then I think maybe things would have been different, and I kept thinking about it too much and ended up not saying anything and I got mad at myself.
That was my big crush failure. If there was someone I liked now, I would absolutely tell them my feelings soon. I’ve learned that just thinking without saying or doing anything is no good. And getting dumped is not really good. Being able to taste the human emotion of love is one of people’s strong points. That’s bluffing, though. (laughs) But I seriously think that people in love shine. That’s why I want to have a lot of loves.

Gateway to Love
The you in love is cute
I fall more in love with that you
The you that chooses lucky clothing for tomorrow
The you nervous that the amount of rice has decreased
It’s okay, you’re a cute person
When I’m with you I smile
I’ll try hard
Until you notice my sign
I can’t say it, this feeling
A crush is the gateway to love
Although it’s hard, it’s fun
Ne, from now on, shall we be in love?

I don’t like crushes. But I have them anyway.
Unrequited love? I also had a bit of a crush. (laughs) There are a lot of times where I naturally think, “Oh, that’s good.” Well, in that time the tension was high, so it didn’t continue on like that. After all, it’s always good that there are people I like. But I don’t really think having a crush is very fun. Yeah, I don’t really like crushes.
If I had a crush, I think I would try hard to really like that person. Although that won’t go so well in practice. Even if I come to like someone, I absolutely won’t ask for their cell phone number and stuff!! So even though I’m the type that thinks it’s better not to have regrets, I have a pattern of regretting things in the end. (laughs) It’s like, “I should have asked!” Although I don’t like crushes, I end up having them anyway. Come to think of it, it seems like even my home friends generally want to have crushes. They’re guys who won’t get turned down. (laughs)
But I think that girls who have crushes are somehow kind of cute. They try hard and worry, “What clothes should I wear?” Of course, going on a date where both sides like one another is best, but when it’s a matter of crushes, people try hard. That’s why, even if it’s a crush, girls should fall in love. Girls in love are cute. Guys also, when they think that way, are happy.
Crushes are the gateway to love. For this reason it’s important, and if they say, “Shall I show you something about myself?” to the person they like and try hard, they’ll be able to mature.
