/hydrangea/

If I had a wish that could come true,
I would want to be reborn into a small hydrangea petal
And be cradled by your gentle and warm hands
Then happily wilt away.

Given my circumstances,
I can't even imagine myself-
Hoping for something as great as love;
Especially not one as pure and beautiful as yours.

I'm being rather selfish but,
If I did get reincarnated-
Would you please take care of me,
Just like you did this time?

If I had a wish that could come true,
I would want to be reborn into a small hydrangea petal
That would remind you of "me" every time you see it;
Then happily wilt away knowing I exist in your memories.

I'm sorry, goodbye.
