In an unending dream
Please love this flower which won't die
Frozen thoughts are eternal
A faint flower's fragrance
Fades away In memory
Even if I stop time
It fades in the distance, your laugh
It's all frozen over
even tomorrow
The same way, in a place with ice-encased light
The flower which I reach out to and pluck
It shatters Not what it once was
Even if I forget about yesterday
I am pricked By shards of glass
This frozen flower which is thawing out
Enfold it in your arms
a cold look
This colorful, shining flower
In an unfinished dream
Please love this flower which won't die
Frozen thoughts are eternal
