She Loves Me

She loves me, she loves me not,

white petals flew away to rot.

Springs love blossoming grows.

Commitment made while passions burned,

missing lover, lesson learned.

A promise gone, as the wind blows.

I like your take on the theme...though it has a sad tone to it, it is well done. Ohhh the petals I pulled in my youth...memories of sweeter times and a tender heart making wishes of He loves me, He loves me not... Enjoyed and happy to see this on the winning list. Congrats !!
