The Thirteenth Month

The owner of the Whale Return Flower Shop, whose surname is Song, loves writing poetry. I like these lines of his:

"One day in the fifth season, we'll meet. In the thirteenth month, you'll appear as promised. And there'll still be plenty of time before we embrace."

He said, "If it's called the past, then it doesn't matter anymore."

I asked, "Then what matters?"

He said, "Waiting."
