O lavender hour,
in an unlived moment,
am I the one blooming?
In a moment before even breathing a scent,
are you the one drifting in?
O lavender hour,
a passing hour,
an ocean of dreams,
is this a sleepless island?
A magnet of magic,
it sparks a flash of lightning.
A drizzle of dopamine
rushes through my heart.
Will the smile in my eyes
be deceived by your gaze?
Is the silence of true love
the warmth of our love?
Is devouring time
love's deepest thirst? Tell me.
Won't a tender moment touch the heart?
Won't the spark of life blossom at a touch?
Through the pains that poetry never speaks of,
won't this drifting soul find an answer?
O lavender flowers,
I hide in the forest of my hair.
O lavender fragrance,
you are my messenger.
While every moving shadow in the dark
admires the blush on my face,
and the crescent moon by the window
smiles at the sight of us,
is this a mysterious journey?
Oh, the madness rushes to my head and I fall apart,
I cried out without making a sound.
Won't this heavy silence ever end, oh girl?
