Marvel of Peru 「白粉花」

I don’t want to be
Annoying, clingy, or weird
I just overthink
And like to know everything
But I’m just too shy to ask

Notes: In hanakotoba (花言葉), the Japanese language of flowers, the marvel of Peru (白粉花) symbolizes “timidity” (臆病), “shyness” (内気), and “to doubt love” (恋を疑う). In the western language of flowers, the marvel of Peru also symbolizes “timidity” (臆病). [Japanese source]
