how lovely can flowers be
symbol of love and affection
i offer you these lilacs to see
so don’t deny this connection

you wish for a flower that wont wither
but that is too fake i figure
it would last for a lifetime you say
but i’ll give you fresh lilacs everyday

My love for you is real
as real as the lilacs i hold
rather than something that don’t wither
something that don’t grow old

let it be my symbol of life and love
that we are bound to wither
someday you will realize
that love that grow is better
than love that is only for show
