I remember that day
Sunny with a breeze
Yet you stood there standing
In a jacket at the garden
Though
I never got the chance to ask why
Because that’s when you noticed
Me standing there watching
And so you dug into your big jacket pocket
And pulled out some seeds
Oh, but I was so confused at the time
Who are you, garden girl?
But I never asked
I took the seeds, and we started digging
The heat beat down on us
But you just smiled
I used to hate the sun
Until I saw that smile
Once we had our seed buried
We watered it and then
You stood and held out your hand
I can’t help but smile at the memory
Of that garden girl
So nice to the rabbit who’d have ruined
Her garden
Although it was against all odds
Our flower grew so tall
A shining sunflower
Reminds me of someone
After that day
I cant remember being out of that garden
My favorite place
After all, there’s a garden girl there
Keeping me company throughout my days
But recently I can’t help but notice
That sometimes my garden girl cries
She cries over her garden
Soiling flowers as she goes
Flowers don’t need any salt, garden girl!
So I went and I asked
Why she watered her garden with sadness
Yet all she did was smile
And walk on over to our flower
OUR sunflower
I couldn’t believe my eyes
As a single teardrop sang through the air
And kissed one of our beautiful petals
I couldn’t even watch
As our petal shriveled up
And fell to the ground
That’s when I realized
This lush, enchanting garden
Was my garden girl’s graveyard
