Outside of the City

Outside of the city where the pomegranates grow, With large citrus orchards perfuming the air, I met my true love on a blossom strewed pathway. My heart gave a leap when I saw him draw near. He held me so tight underneath blooming tree As he planted his kisses all over my face. We met in the city where the pomegranate grows And we'll wed in the valley where the scented wind blows.

This was for my contest "Last Line Prompt - 2". The reason it didn't place was that you were the only one who put "outside of the city where the pomegranates grow" instead of the correct "outside the city".
