Maidenhair Fern 「唐草蓬莱羊歯」

To not know evil,
To be innocent again,
A child again,
The world was so much simpler
When I did not feel this pain

Notes: In hanakotoba (花言葉), the Japanese language of flowers, the maidenhair fern (唐草蓬莱羊歯) symbolizes “innocence/naivete” (天真爛漫) and “being delicate” (繊細). [Japanese source]
