Episode

Starlight dapples the stone with every step,
You rush ahead a tile and a half,
Too stubborn... too stubborn to look back yet.

Patchworks of people line the market;
You weave through crowds like the needle tracks
And I'm the thread pulled idly past

Warm glows emanate from rows of stalls,
Stringlit wares, shiny baubles.
Steam rises over hot chocolate cups
Cinnamon scents blend into the dusk—

"What's the hold-up? Don't get separated..."
I realize you've turned my way and waited.

I nod and you avert your gaze
Stubborn again, a tile and a half away,
Not a step further, not a step less
Keeping me close and distant yet.

Occasionally, you glance back at me
And I pretend I didn't see
I somehow feel, if our eyes meet...
This precious moment will abruptly end
And next I know, you'll be tiles ahead.

On this holy night, walking moonlit streets,
I keep your pace carefully,
And you lead our way slowly, gently.

星降る石畳を踏んで君はゆく。
1歩半だけ先を、怒ったように忙しなく。

もろびとこぞる市場の中を、
その細い脚で縫うように淀みなく、
騒ぐ人波をかきわけて。

店先は光で満ちて、
きらめく品々は眩しく鮮やかだ。
甘いホットチョコレートの湯気に、
シナモンの香りが乗って夜を温めている。

この冬の日の喧噪の中で
その小さな肩を見失わずに済んでいるのは、
間違いなく君自身のおかげだった。

「何してんの、はぐれないでよ」

振り向いて、ぶっきらぼうに君は言う。
頷き返すと、すぐに前を向いてしまう。
ただ1歩半だけ先を、
それ以上決して引き離さないように、
細心の注意を払いながら君はゆく。

時折、ちらちらと振り返る視線に、
気づかないふりをして後を追う。
気づいたことがわかったら、
その途端にこの聖なる1歩半が
ぐんと伸びて消えてしまうからだ。

聖夜の月明りを受けて君はゆく。
1歩半だけ先を、誰よりも優しく慎重に。
