can I have
one stalk of gerbera daisy and some baby breath, please
the pink one, for the daisy, please
i'd like to buy a small bouquet of tribute not for me
but for a certain love i dearly miss
can i get it wrapped? and pack me some of that white powder, too
you see, i intend to let it flourish and live
but not for long because soon i'll be sitting at my desk
and notice the stalk facing not the sun
but me, few of its petals limp
and i love it so much, but clearly it's crying
and before long i'd curse my own hands for taking apart
something so delicate and sweet
in my pathetic attempt to preserve
its transient beauty into an eternity
i'll love it so much, but i'll love it so wrong, you see
to love is to let it die
to love is to let it dry
to love is to hang it in your closet, in the dark, for a few days
to love is to look behind
to love is to have never bought it in the first place
to love is to know that nothing would ever last
to love is to let it die
so can i have one stalk of gerbera daisy and some baby breath, please?
the one that'll teach me a thing or two about love, for the daisy, please
