She's like a flame And you hate the break of spring It becomes apparent to you in the morning After the sun grazes your cheeks And you spot a dandelion in the field But you hate it Not for it's beauty, but for the way it makes you feel It reminds you that you have to start over And that each day is a new chance But you hate that Because yesterday her perfume was inside your lungs And her cheeks were pressed against your chest Her chapped lips were the only connection to had to the ground But then she was gone like a candle had been blown out Because she was a flame But winter was over and she no longer needed to keep you warm
