送った時間は 午前2時48分

消したり書いたり 12分かけて

たった一行 「元気ですか」

それだけ送るのに 半年かかった

 

既読 の二文字が ついた

それから 何も動かない

 

午前3時の既読だけ

返事のかわりに 光ってる

午前3時の画面の中で

私だけが 待っている

Still there, still there, 読んだんだね

それだけで 今日は 眠れる

 

通知が来るたび 心臓が動く

広告でも 天気でも 動く

充電が切れるまで 握ってる

明るさだけ 少し下げて

 

返さないのも 答えだって

わかってる わかってるけど

 

午前3時の既読だけ

返事のかわりに 光ってる

午前3時の画面の中で

私だけが 待っている

Still there, still there, 読んだんだね

それだけで 今日は 眠れる

 

既読のままの 一行が

今日の私の 全部だった

 

午前3時の既読だけ

返事のかわりに 光ってる

午前3時の画面の中で

私だけが 待っている

Still there, still there, 読んだんだね

それだけで 今日は 眠れる

 

午前3時

まだ 光ってる

English translation

Sent at 2:48 in the morning

Twelve minutes of writing and erasing

Just one line — 'How have you been?'

It took half a year to send that much

 

The word 'Read' appeared

And nothing has moved since

 

Only the read mark at 3AM

Glows where a reply should be

Inside the screen at 3AM

I'm the only one still waiting

Still there, still there — so you read it

That alone will get me through tonight

 

Every notification, my heart jumps

It jumps for ads, for weather

Holding on until the battery dies

Only the brightness turned down low

 

Not answering is an answer too

I know that, I know, and still

 

Only the read mark at 3AM

Glows where a reply should be

Inside the screen at 3AM

I'm the only one still waiting

Still there, still there — so you read it

That alone will get me through tonight

 

One line left on 'Read'

Was all of me today

 

Only the read mark at 3AM

Glows where a reply should be

Inside the screen at 3AM

I'm the only one still waiting

Still there, still there — so you read it

That alone will get me through tonight

 

3AM

Still glowing
