three gerberas mean “ i love you” – drawing closer (2024)
To the boy, born in autumn – Haruna
I’ve decided to bind my feelings, with photos of the gerberas you gave me. You’re the first person I ever met whos was immune. to my magic spell. That day on the roof, you heard my diagnosis, but you didn’t act scared or look at me with pity. It was me who suprised. In hopes of running into you again, I searched all over the hospital. For your visits, I would wait in the hall every day. If i saw you coming, I’d rush back into bed. When i realized, you really would come every day, I was so happy, I hyperventilated. But when autumn began, I learned your secret. Cardiology? she knew…
Despite that, you kept quiet for my encouragement. You used all the time you had left for my sake, didn’t you? I wanted to reward your kindness, so I played along. I wanted things to be normal. For the two of us, normal moments were a rare and precious thing. For me, these final six months were the happiest time of my life. You know, I think our coming together wasn’t a coincidence. It was meant to be. I bet we were born only so that we could meet. Thinking that got me through the inevitable pain. So don’t be afraid, Akito. I’ll shoulder your pain And then I’ll die first and watch over you from the sky.
But if by some twist of fate, you find this page, I want to believe that after picking on me for so long, it would be God’s way of leaving me with a parting gift. Hey, I’ll bet you knew what a bouquet of six gerberas means. When you’ve been in the hospital this long, you learn the sentiments of most flowers. So I choose to believe that you’ll know what these three gerberas mean when I gave them to you.
Three gerberas mean “I Love You.”
