Flower

Flower shops lined our street

Twenty-four hours alive

Blooms held dawn and daylight

Through the night, they survived



Among the petals swaying wild

A white apple blossom grew

Love bloomed without a sound

Something quiet, something new



Flower, flower

Distance of a single bloom

Flower, flower

Between me and you



One blossom to the next

The space they leave between

Same as yours and mine

A gap I've never seen



I dream of you each night

How lovely will you be

When you've grown all the way

Into what you're meant to be



Flower, flower

Distance of a single bloom

Flower, flower

Between me and you



Apple blossoms don't ask

They just open when it's time

Love arrived the same way

Quiet — yours and mine



Flower, flower

Distance of a single bloom

Flower, flower

Between me and you
