Flower

Oh, how I wonder what you're doing now

I search for you in the ether, and

There you are in your kitchen

You're cooking up some vegetables

Oh, I just think you're so smart, and you are

You're capable of everything that you want

You're a light in the world and an asset to your community

Sometimes I think of you so hard, I wonder if you can sense it

I keep on writing you syrup songs so that I don't forget

How it felt when you loved me

Your love is a flower that looked in my palm

I wouldn't dare keep it for myself alone

So I sprinkle pollen and leave specks of you wherever I go

But I always knew that the flower would die

I know better than to expect eternal life

From a beautiful, delicate, seasonal, mortal agreement

But oh, it was beautiful

And it was free

Oh, it was worth it

Worth it to me

When you loved me

When you loved me
