Like a Flower

Like a Flower
So full of Love
You gave it to me
And how I dreamed of

Holding you tight
Smelling your sweet perfume
Watching my smile
Cause you to Bloom

And when the Hardships came
To water your Roots
You drowned with the pouring Rain
And washed away with our future pursuits.

Like a Flower
On Death's bed
You utter your sweet last words
But now... you're dead.
