We flourished together
Letting our love guide us
Like the north star on the rough sea.
You gifted me lush bouquets of
Blazing poppies and ravishing roses.
I gave you my loyalty and devotion.
We were eachothers peace
And you took care of me.
I will be forever grateful for that.

But one day things changed.
I wanted to explore the world,
You wanted to settle in the earth
And let yourself be at peace.
I wish I could slow down
But I can't.
I can't waste
the precious time I was gifted with
On a life I do not dream of.

So now our love is lost
And the bouquets are burning.
The smoke has blinded my eyes
And filled my lungs,
Bur that's not what brings my tears.
My lament is for our memories.
I will one day love on
And move someone new.
But for now I will by a poppy and a rose
And let the colors melt in my vision,
Drowning in tears.
