From "Rurouni Kenshin Songs" (Original Vocal Album)

Suki Toka Ja Nakute
"It's Not Love or Anything..."
(Kaoru)

It was only a blink of the eye
Because the sun was shining so brightly
But even so--this is nonsense--
As if I had been winked at--
The pounding will not disappear from my heart

You called out "How are you?" from behind me
When I hear your voice, without even thinking--

It's not something that you'll understand even when you see it
Why did I say that at a time like this?
I let my chance slip away again today
Even though this is not in a dream
It's not love or anything like that
Why is it then that I can't help but feel anxious about you?

The person who gave me the love letter
Is not you--I know that--
Coolly, to the point of cruelty,
I refused, saying, "I can't go out with you."

I can't go out with someone just out of pity
When I hear your voice, without even thinking--

*It's so wondrous--tears are welling up
Even though I had thought that I was strong--
I saw you all flustered
On the path where the shadows are lengthened

**It's not love or anything like that
Why is it then that I can't help but feel anxious about you?

Repeat *
