デスク越しに交わした 何気ない挨拶
そこから始まった 僕らの物語
退屈だったルーティンが 彩り始めて
君がいるだけで 職場はパッと明るくなった
月曜日さえ待ち遠しくなって
仕事も今まで以上に手についたんだ
周りの目なんて少しも気にならないくらい
僕はただ君という光に夢中だった
伝えた想いは 届かなかったけれど
あの日交わした言葉も 全部宝物だよ
プロポーズの返事が 「NO」だとしても
僕が君を想う気持ちは 濁ったりしないから
もしもいつか 君の空が曇るような日は
遠慮しないで 僕を頼ってほしいんだ
一番近くじゃなくても
味方でいたい
君の笑顔が 続く場所を願っている
心から願うよ 君の幸せを
僕じゃない誰かと歩む道だとしても
大切に想ってる それは変わらない
あたたかな空間を くれた君へありがとう
幸せになってね
何かあれば いつでもここにいるから
輝く明日を 祈っているよ
ずっと…

Even If I'm Not the Closest
SHUGA
"Even If I'm Not the Closest"
A heartfelt and bittersweet R&B love ballad about feelings for someone truly special met through everyday work life.
What began with simple greetings slowly turned ordinary days into something meaningful.
Just having her there brought color and warmth to a once repetitive routine.
The feelings were never returned.
Even so, it became a love so genuine that all he could wish for was her happiness.
"Even if I'm not the closest one, I still want to be on your side."
Though they could not become lovers, the song gently portrays a quiet kind of love - one that continues to support from afar without asking for anything in return.
With SHUGA's delicate lyrics and emotional melodies, this touching track captures the beauty of mature unrequited love and selfless affection.
