When I was just about to take off my shoes on the rooftop,
A boy with glasses was already there.
Despite myself, I called out to him: "Hey, don't do it."
My R (Watashi no R)
The words just kind of slipped from my mouth.
It didn't really matter to me either way.
It just didn't sit right with me that someone got there ahead of me.
The boy with glasses told me his story-
The kind of story one probably has heard before.
"I thought we were meant for each other.
I just really wanted him to like me back."
Are you kidding me?! The nerve you have
to get here before me for such a lame reason!
You're upset because you can't have what you want?
You're lucky enough that you've never had anything stolen from you!
"I feel better now that I've talked about it,"
The boy with glasses said, and disappeared
"All right, I'm gonna do it today," I thought,
but just when I was about to take off my shoes,
I found a short boy there,
and I ended up calling out to him again.
The short boy told me, about how lonely he feels in his class.
"Everyone ignores me. Everything's stolen from me.
I don't belong anywhere," he said.
Are you kidding me?! The nerve you have
to get here before me for such a lame reason!
Despite all that, you're still loved at home,
and there's always dinner waiting for you, right?
"I'm hungry," the short boy cried,
and the short boy disappeared.
Just like that, I spoke to a few of them
and talked them out of it,
while I myself can't share my pains with anyone.
For the first time, I've found
a boy who has the same kind of problems as me.
after I've seen a few of them.
I met this boy wearing a yellow cardigan
"I came here, hoping to erase
the bruises that keep increasing
every time I come home," he said.
The words just kind of slipped from my mouth.
It didn't really matter to me either way
But I ended up saying to him
something even I myself didn't quite believe in:
"Hey, just don't do it."
Aah, what should I do?
I can't stop this boy.
I don't have the right to stop him.
But even so, just go away from here.
It's too painful for me to look at you.
"I won't do it today, then,"
he said as he dropped his gaze, and disappeared.
There's no one here today.
It's just me, myself and I.
No one can get in my way.
No one would get in my way for me.
Taking off my cardigan,
unbraiding my hair,
this short girl
is going to jump now.
