However, sending exquisite flowers
Is the best, sweetest archetypal way
To say, I love you many times over
Over, and...

SOLUTIONIST:
This is ANDERSON WALKINGSHOES... 
VERSE 1:
Drenched soul placed on a bench,
Avengers revenging not ready to repent;
Edge of grudges they always entrench,
Dreading of fate, that's what they depend.
