Together but Alone : 
一緒にいるけどひとりぼっち

Together but Alone : 一緒にいるけどひとりぼっち

On a quiet night in early spring, the city lights cast gentle reflections on empty sidewalks. Yuto walked slowly along the riverbank, the hush of the world around him matching the calm he wished for inside. Next to him, Aki’s face was touched by soft light, her eyes always finding distant places even as she matched his pace. Sometimes words hovered between them, but more often they dissolved into the cool air, unspoken and unneeded. Yuto noticed he heard her heartbeat more than her voice, a steady comfort that she was there even when silence filled the space between them.

They were dreamers, he thought, two souls moving through the shadows of the city, carrying pieces of each other’s burdens. When the weight of Yuto’s memories grew heavy, Aki’s presence made it easier to move forward, though she never directly offered comfort. Instead, their steps fell in line again, a small assurance that neither walked alone though loneliness still pressed at their edges.

Sometimes, as they stopped at a crosswalk or paused beneath a street lamp, Yuto felt the strangeness that he could feel so close to her and yet so far away. There was a gentle agony in being together but feeling alone, a reminder that connection does not always chase away solitude. Yet every time her hand brushed his, or her shadow lingered beside his as they continued onwards, he realized they were connected in deeper ways. Their shared silences told a story stronger than words.

Side by side, down the familiar street, their pace never wavered. The path ahead seemed endless, repeating with each aligned step. Even when solitude echoed in their hearts, Yuto knew now they were never truly alone. And sometimes, in the quiet world they shared, that was enough.

夜の静かな春の街灯に街の影が揺れ、歩く二人の姿が川沿いの道に溶け込んでいた。ユウトはゆっくりと足を進め、静けさの中で自分の内側のざわめきを鎮めた。隣にはアキがいて、やわらかい光が彼女の顔を包み、遠くを見るような瞳は何かを探しているようだった。言葉は時に空気に消え、互いの鼓動だけが確かに聞こえた。

ふたりはまるで夢を追う者のように、影の中を歩みながら互いの重荷を背負い合っているようだった。ユウトの心にのしかかる想いを、アキの存在が支えていた。直接的な慰めはなくても、その存在があることで彼は前に進む力を得ていた。

時折、横断歩道や街灯の下で立ち止まると、彼は感じた。こんなにも近くにいるのに遠く感じる不思議な繋がり。ふたりでいるけれど、孤独もまた共に在る。だが彼女の手がそっと触れるたびに、彼の影が隣に重なるたびに、深いところで繋がっていることを確信した。言葉にしなくても、ふたりの静かな沈黙がそれを語っていた。

馴染みの道を並んで歩き続ける。重なる歩幅が途切れることなく、未来へ続くかのようだった。心に孤独が響いても、ユウトは知っていた。ふたりは決して一人ではないことを。静かな世界の中で、それだけで十分だった。

Lyrics

[Verse]
静かな光に君の顔
遠くて揺れるこの距離感
言葉は風に消えていくけど
君の鼓動だけが聞こえる

[Prechorus]
僕らは夜を夢見る二人
君の影を僕が背負い
僕の荷物は君が支える
重なり合う理由が強くなる

[Chorus]
一緒にいるけどひとりぼっち
抱きしめ合って でも遠くて
僕らはひとつで同じ心
並んだ歩幅 ずっと続く
一緒にいるけどひとりぼっち
だけど決して一人じゃない

[Verse 2]
同じ道を隣を歩く
同じ靴を履いて進むよ
選んだのは君だけの日々
失いたくない それが僕の願い

[Prechorus]
僕らは時を彷徨う夢追い人
君の重荷を僕が担いで
僕の荷物は君が支える
待てずに強くなる想い

[Chorus]
一緒にいるけどひとりぼっち
ささやき囁く静かな音
僕らはひとつで同じ心
火の中でも呼び合ってる
一緒にいるけどひとりぼっち
だけど決して一人じゃない
