A fleeting romance

Ambient dream-pop × city pop, 74bpm, Key E, Breathy female vocal, downcast mood, Quiet summer night, senko-hanabi sparkles, fading love

[Intro] (humming)
oo–oo, the summer air is cooling down

[Verse 1]
Wind chimes fall silent, only shadows move in the lane  
Words stay unspoken, glowing like a tiny ember  
Your name, I trace it quietly in the dark  
Eyes cast down, my lashes catch a fading spark

[Pre-Chorus]
The closer we breathe, the quicker it slips  
Kindness in distance, unraveling fingertips

[Chorus]
Like a bud swelling in the summer heat  
Bursting open, laughter shining like petals of fire  
Like pine needles, thin sparks flying apart  
Like chrysanthemums, falling quietly out of love  
Don’t fade… not yet, not tonight

[Post-Chorus] (soft ad-lib)  
we were quiet sparks in the dark, quietly falling, quietly bright

[Verse 2]
Twisted edges of paper change their shade like hearts  
Unspoken “I love you” melts at the fingertips  
Your profile trembles like water in the night  
Untouched, only the light brushes against your clothes

[Pre-Chorus 2]
The more we reach, the further warmth drifts  
“This is enough”—a gentle lie, tender and aching

[Chorus 2]
Like a bud swelling at the start of night  
Peonies raining down, scattering stars in your hair  
Like fine pine sparks, memories draw their lines  
At the edge of chrysanthemums, I let you go  
Don’t fade… your trace still rests in my palm

[Bridge]
Every second, I hold my breath  
Guarding the core of the flame  
Not “I loved you” but “still, almost”  
Eyes cast down, praying the fire won’t fall

[Final Chorus] (softly, then swelling)
From bud to bloom, from pine to fall  
Change itself is our song  
In a midnight street, your back fades away  
Leaving only tiny sparks behind  
Don’t fade… but the night is taking you  
The summer breeze carries whispers, echoes of our hearts  
Fading light, but still, a trace remains

[Outro] (humming + faint “ah”)  
Soft humming, faint “ah”s, distant night sounds  
Small sparks fade into the dark, leaving only warmth  
Gentle wind brushing hair, ephemeral glow of senko-hanabi  
A quiet summer night stretching, endless yet fleeting
