If not for the rain
I could have loved you forever
Wished we were still here
Until the final daffodil
Though in a few gasp
We know how it would soon wither.

My then thorn petals
I thought they were recovering
But when I felt you
I knew it could somehow be true
Torn petals still went shattering

Had to keep you off
But it was not what I wanted
Like a butterfly
I have learned to let you go
'Cause it can't be that
In full bloom, I'd still be guarded.

Now the firmament
Filled with the darkest shades of pain
Thought I'd still be happy
Just by seeing you by my side
Such joy, I felt it
Could be love, if not for the rain.
