The last Flower

[Verse 1] I heard of flowers blooming far beyond the sea Colors vivid as the dreams you once shared with me I swore to fetch them, cross the waters wild and gray To see that sparkle in your eyes light up the day [Verse 2] The journey long, through storms and shadows I did chase The rarest blooms to bring a smile to your sweet face But time was fleeting, much too fast for my slow pace And distance grew in more than just the empty space [Chorus 1] But you couldn’t wait for my return The last bouquet on its way, yet to learn That while I battled tide and time Your heart had moved on, leaving mine [Verse 3] Now I hold the flowers, scent of bitter truth A fragrant symbol of my love, lost in its youth These petals witness to the cost of my delay A price too steep for any heart to truly pay [Chorus 1] But you couldn’t wait for my return The last bouquet on its way, yet to learn That while I battled tide and time Your heart had moved on, leaving mine [Chorus 1] But you couldn’t wait for my return The last bouquet on its way, yet to learn That while I battled tide and time Your heart had moved on, leaving mine [Chorus 1] But you couldn’t wait for my return The last bouquet on its way, yet to learn That while I battled tide and time Your heart had moved on, leaving mine [Bridge] So here I stand, with nothing but my regret Flowers in hand, your silhouette Hard to let go, harder yet to forget These blooms, a token of love, now met with silence [Chorus 1] But you couldn’t wait for my return The last bouquet on its way, yet to learn That while I battled tide and time Your heart had moved on, leaving mine [Chorus 2] But you couldn’t wait, couldn’t see The last bouquet, a part of me While I sought to cross the sea You found your peace, without me [Outro] So I’ll place these flowers where our dreams lie spent A monument to love’s labor, never sent They’ll bloom in silence, as silent as my heart With every petal that falls, we drift further apart
