About
I might not be that great of a person, but I was definitely someone who wanted to make you smile just once. Always standing behind you without being able to say a word, pretending to pass by you for fear of being a burden, I did all of that because I wanted you to be comfortable. But you know. Sometimes, I wish you would look at me just once. To know that I'm here. That I'm still looking only at you. Look at me just once. I won't hold onto you for long. I won't force you to give me your heart. Even if it's just a passing glance, even if it's just a brief pause in your step, I think I'll remember that for a long time. If your heart leans toward me even a little, then just smile and call my name once. I think that alone would make me happy for a very long time.

Intro
Everyone always looked at you first.
Whether you were walking down the hallway, crossing the playground, or opening the classroom door, eyes always followed you. There was someone whose entire day changed just because of one bright smile from you.
You were that kind of person.
I was different.
Pretending not to show it, pretending it was nothing, I was the person who always watched you from a step behind.
As much as I know you, you probably don't even know my name well.
Even so, I thought I was okay back then.
It was enough to see you smiling from a distance, and it was enough just to see you talking happily with someone.
But the human heart is a strange thing.
Just watching from afar, in the end, not a single word ever reaches you.
So today, too,
I watch you without anyone knowing.
Hoping that just once, your gaze might fall upon me.
