going out to look at sakura trees with you, and sitting down on a bench by riverside we can see the trees. after that, I take a book I've read from a few days ago, you take a smartphone, view around there and feel asleep. talking is little. today, I heard newscaster that it'll be sunny day like temperature in May when watching morning show. I close again the book, and then giving a hand to stand up to you making face almost sleeping. why don't we restart to walk along river? your hand is being kept by my hand.

 

一緒に桜を見にいって、川沿いの桜がよく見えるベンチに腰を掛ける。僕はそれから読みかけの本を読み始めるし、君は隣でスマホをいじったり、ぼんやり遠くを眺めたり、うとうとしたり。ぽつりぽつりと交わす言葉。今日はまるでゴールデンウィークのような陽気だと、今朝のニュースでいっていたっけ。僕は読みかけの本をまた読みかけたまま、しおりを挟む。大きく伸びをしたら、うつろな顔で腰掛けたままの君に手を差し出す。散歩の続きをしようよ。握った手はそのままで。
