Grammar:

  • こっち向いて

    ➔ Imperative form of 『向く』 (to face) used to give a command or request.

    ➔ The word 『向く』 means 'to face' or 'to turn towards.' The 『~て』 form here is used as a request or command — 'please face this way.'

  • 僕の気持ちが わかるのに

    ➔ Use of 『のに』 as a conjunction meaning 'despite' or 'although,' indicating a contrast or an unmet expectation.

    ➔ 『のに』 connects two clauses, often expressing 'despite' or 'although.' In this case, it shows the singer's feelings are clear, yet the other person does not understand them.

  • 「あなたが好きです」と

    ➔ Quotation marker 『』 used to mark direct speech or quotes.

    ➔ The quotation marks 『』 are used here to enclose the exact words spoken or thought, in this case, 'I like you.'

  • ハッピーになれる

    ➔ Potential form 『になれる』 of 『なる』 (to become), expressing the possibility or ability to become happy.

    ➔ 『になれる』 is the potential form of 『なる』, meaning 'can become.' It suggests that the person has the ability to become happy if they express their feelings.

  • 書いておけばいいんだ

    ➔ Conditional 『おけば』 derived from 『おく』 (to put, to do in advance) + 『~ば』, expressing 'if you write it down beforehand, it's okay.'

    ➔ 『おけば』 is the conditional form of 『おく』, meaning 'if you do (something) in advance.' It suggests that writing it down beforehand will make confessing easier.
