“A Special Place”
^^ A forgotten song brought back feelings I thought I’d left behind— Tonight’s tale from the Hydrangea Dream Galaxy.
On the way home, riding my bike along the riverside path, a familiar intro started playing on a podcast. “Huh…?” I squeezed the brakes without thinking.
With one foot on the ground, I stayed there, searching for the song. Scrolling a bit, I found the title. As soon as I tapped play, the melody pulled the past straight into the present.
When I closed my eyes against the blurring scene, I saw the evening train station— and your back growing smaller without once looking back after a soft “See you.” My school uniform sleeves still hadn’t been swapped for summer ones, and I gripped them tightly, along with all the words I never said. Only the white hydrangea quietly turned its gaze toward me.
When I opened my eyes again, the white hydrangea was there, blooming like a continuation of that memory. The breeze stirred one bloom, gently leaning it toward me. Just like that day. The space beside the white hydrangea still felt special.
If there’s even one place where it’s okay to cry— maybe that’s all you need to keep moving forward.
some of my favourite flower photos :]
Beautiful flowers in terrible lighting 😩
