The more I see of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!

You got me flowers
When we met last
Red roses with sunflowers
I wanted to tell you what a mismatch it was
But then I realised that so were we.
Who, but you, were the sunflower
All bright and bold
Turning to the sun
Refusing to face the dark
Who, but I, was the rose
You could have my colour
If you held me tight
Blood red
You got us together
I wanted to tell you what a mismatch we were
But I guess I liked the way
Roses and sunflowers looked together

The bruises of her lost love
Still glowing on her skin,
Still laughing,
Still reminding her of him,
And singing a melancholy
of his last words-
'You'll move on'.
