Orchids Long Dried

I feel your words reaching my heart

Your words are so sweet, your love's charming me

I feel your breath against my skin

It's like saccharine, it's enchanting me

​

The way that I was crushed without a care (I gave everything...)
You left scars on me where you used to kiss me (... to you)

The way you left me behind with no care (I thought you would...)
I had no one else, left alone... (...never betray me like this.)

Flutter, flutter away, dear memories of love.
Solitary tears trickle down my chest.
If it one day came the time to mend what we had
Would you water the orchids that long dried?


Somehow, I can't let you go, you're stuck in my head
Haunting me again, those sweet memories.
There's something inside I feel deep within my heart
…Do I even dare admit what it is?

I want to feel the sunlight warm against my skin
My hand within yours, tender in your hold.
I know we will never mend that which we once had
But those love petals will bloom another way…
