Lyric

The flowers bloom in white, clustering together

You once said they were almost too loud

For someone like me

Always alone, they felt just right

Enduring the cold

Shivering from hunger

Losing that child

Unable to do anything for them

In place of that child

I carried nothing but sorrow

I thought only the camellias

Could offer me comfort

Even though I clenched my teeth and made it this far

You dismissed it all so easily

My family was fleeting

Sorrow twisted my heart

Even the warmth of an obi against my back

One day, it too disappeared

I thought I had to survive alone

That I had to hide my pain

To stay strong

Pressing flowers into my notebook

I closed my heart inside it, too

I wanted to believe

That I was not alone

I want to bloom earnestly

In the place I’ve found in you

If you carry burdens

Let me share them with you

Because I’ve learned—

Love can only be met with love in return

To the stubborn, unyielding self

I used to be

It’s time to say goodbye

I want to remain

Forever reflected

In your eyes

Your kindness

Illuminates my path

I realized my family is here, too

That even if I get hurt again, I’ll be okay

Wounds will heal

No one will disappear anymore

I won’t believe anymore

That everything is only meant to be taken away

Only those who rely on others

Can truly be relied upon

Now, I want to be

Your place of refuge

Just like pressing flowers into a notebook

I want to keep your heart within mine

So that whenever I look back

It will always be there

Always in my heart

Forever
