Is this LOVE? ---- Hamasaki Ayumi

Music soothes the soul.. Love songs ease the pain...

Anata ga yasashiku mitsumeru shisen no
Saki dewa hosoi kata wo shiteru
Kanojo ga yasashiku shiawasesou na kao de
Warainagara unazuiteta

You gaze at her tenderly
And she smiles and nods
Her shoulders narrow
And her face filled with tenderness and happiness

Nanika ga ookina oto wo tatenagara
Kuzurete itta you na ki ga shitan dakedo
Miugoki dekizu tada tachitsukushiteta dake

I felt as if something crumbled
With a loud sound
But I just stood stock still, unable to move

Doushite watashi ja nai no tte kokkei de kudaranai
Toikake nante shinai kedo
Watashi ga mita koto nai you na anata ga soko ni wa ite
Tada tada tooku ni kanjita no
Konna kimochi ittai nante ittara ii

I'm not going to say something quaint or stupid
Like "why isn't it me?"
But you're over there, looking like I've never seen you look before
And you just felt so far away
What is this feeling?

Anata ga tokidoki miseru kanashii me no
Wake wo shitte shimatta kara

Now I know the reason
Why your eyes sometimes look so sad

Nanika shite ageru koto ga dekiru no wa
Watashi demo nakute dareka demo nakute
Tada hitori dake nante koto mo wakatta no

I also realized there's only one person
Who can do anything for you
And it's not me or anyone else

Itsu kara anata ni konna ni hikarete ita no nante
Imagoro ki zuita furi shite
Miesuita uso toka tsuite gomakashite mitan dakedo
Tada tada yokei munashikute
Konna kimochi wo hito wa koi da to yobu no ka na

I pretended I didn't realize
How attracted I was to you until just now
And tried to fool myself with an obvious lie
But it was just even more futile
I wonder if this feeling is what people call love

Doushite watashi ja nai no tte kokkei de kudaranai
Toikake nante shinai kedo
Watashi ga mita koto nai you na anata ga soko ni wa ite
Tooku ni kanjite shimatta no

I'm not going to say something quaint or stupid
Like "why isn't it me?"
But you're over there, looking like I've never seen you look before
And you felt so far away

Itsu kara anata ni konna ni hikarete ita no nante
Imagoro ki zuita furi shite
Miesuita uso toka tsuite gomakashite mitan dakedo
Tada tada yokei munashikute
Konna kimochi wo kitto koi da tte iu no ne

I pretended I didn't realize
How attracted I was to you until just now
And tried to fool myself with an obvious lie
But it was just even more futile
This feeling is definitly love, isn't it?
