The river's flowing slowly like it did in the past
When we could still be happy and glad
When we could still play and laugh
When we could still brighten up each other's face with just a smile.
But now, my dear, the bright days are gone,
The sun has stopped shining and the dark clouds have come.
I look above and see nothing but black,
Not being able to find a single ray of sunshine.
Still, I wait for you and the birds sing nothing but the blues.
And it does nothing but sadden me,
But I know that it will sadden you even more.
Leaves turn orange, some brown.
There is not one day I do not think of you.
Spring passes by as quickly as summer,
Winter lingering just a bit longer.
And still I think of you.
Would you be waiting for my return,
Lilies in hand and a smile on your face?
Or would you be picking yellow tulips with a substitude,
Bringing with you all your subtlety and grace?
The wind smells like you, and so do the trees.
The night noises sound like your footsteps.
Everywhere I turn, I see your peaceful face.
I wonder, would you still look the same?
When I left, I left something other than my love.
Even the flowers would shake their heads.
The migrating birds seem to mock me as they pass.
For I can never go back.

Trivia: Lilies mean 'New beginning.' Yellow tulips mean 'One-sided love.' How I love the language of flowers.♥
Status: Just finished reading Before I fall by Lauren Oliver. Have to buy more books.
