Nodding Anemone 「翁草」

My heart betrayed me
Oh, why did it fall in love?
Unwanted feelings,
It’s so difficult trying
To keep it hidden from you

Notes: In hanakotoba (花言葉), the Japanese language of flowers, the nodding anemone (翁草) symbolizes “an innocent heart” (清純な心), “a love that can’t be announced” (告げられぬ恋), “wishing for nothing at all” (何も求めない), and “a treacherous love” (裏切りの恋). ^{[Japanese source]}
