blooming without you

I tried to move on But strangely I was stuck to my feelings As you left me behind I was never like that Before you came along Like the last withering leaf of winter I desperately stayed on Hoping maybe I'd survive And I did know (somewhere in the back of my mind) That if I did leave you behind Yes, Better, healthier leaves would grow But I clung on to the hopes That perhaps winter would stay A little longer The tree told me To let go And the remaining wisps Of winter should go Because it was spring now And now Spring has arrived It smells of dandelions And I've wished on someone else now.
