You once would bring me flowers
At the end of every week
In return for one of my kisses
That you would so eagerly seek

Freesias were my favourite
In the early days of Spring
Delphiniums and daffodils
So much joy did those blooms bring

Some days you brought me roses
On the days when I felt blue
You filled my world with rainbows
How very much I once loved you

Our love continued to bloom
Into a beautiful bouquet
Until you rocked my world
Saying you could no longer stay

Now the cold winds blow around me
And my vase is void of blooms
This sadness overwhelms me
Like a dark cloud above it looms

All you left me was a note
Saying you were leaving me
How could I have been so blind
As love forbade me to see

I sit here in my solitude
Wondering where our love went wrong
You no longer bring me flowers
How very sad now was the song

* * * * *

I guess I should say that this was
not written from personal experience.

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

I truly hope this is not from personal experience. It is so sad but what a great job of writing. I love the flowers you picked, especially the freesias. They are so fragrant and beautiful.

I think Neil Diamond sang a song about this - 'You don't bring me flowers anymore...." boohoo!!!!!

Hugs, Marti
