When did you bloom? I have lived my whole life in this room,
and yet I never noticed you by the window. Oh how beautiful you have bloomed,
with your petals so brightly coloured. How did you grow without me realizing
your beauty, and how is it that you crept up to this height without awareness?
I hope you live forever, through sunshine and rain, and continue to brighten up
my every day.

Oh dear flower,
When did you wither? It was not too long ago, when I saw
your petals so brightly coloured. What made you this way? Did the weather make
you waste away? Was it because I did not pay you enough attention? Oh dear
flower, I do miss you oh so much. But I know that my life was better because
you were once a part of it.
