With red roses, he declared his love to me,
the sunflowers marked the most beautiful summer,
while our hands couldn’t let each other go.
We kept each other warm in winter,
like two snowdrops growing on the same soil.
We didn’t need laurel. We just kissed.
The scent of lavender filled the sweetest dreams,
we talked about the flower fields of our future.
What we had was as unique as the rarest orchid.
Life was beautiful and felt like a bunch of hydrangeas,
I found more peace than any lily could negotiate.
Paradise garden was everything I ever wanted.
Boldly I dug my roots deep into foreign grounds,
I had visions of planting dahlias and peonies.
But we never saw the tulips of the following spring.
One day the vase was empty. He was gone.
The Forget-me-nots are watered by my tears now.
Where he went, I do now know.
Please come back.
I don’t need flowers, but I do need you.
