a simple, pretty flower
stunning to the eye
is seldom not admired
by the people passing by

but secretly the flower
wishes they could see
its beauty is much deeper
than the normal eye can see

although the lonely flower
is admired all the time
it is always only noticed
for a short amount of time

no one seems to stay
for longer than a minute
no one seems to see
the beauty that's within it

so the flower always wonders
when the time will come
that it is truly noticed
not looked at only once

though the flower is beautiful
and pleasing to the eye
that beauty begins to fade
as the flower starts to die

for love and lust are different
they never feel the same
lust will always fail
and love will never fade
love is slow to anger
love will take its time
love is never boastful
love is always kind
love, like gold is rare
it's hard to try and find
love, like a flower is pretty
and always blooms on time

so don't you ever doubt
there's someone right for you
find someone who grows flowers
in the darkest parts of you
and when you find this person
who grows you to the clouds
your beauty will be noticed
and your heart will wear a crown
so please don't lose your faith
your love will bloom in time
you'll be loved in full, my dear
and true love is divine
