Is it so terrible
For a flower to bloom and die
Untouched by another
Clean and radiant
Facing the sunny sky

Is it so wrong
To leave each other alone
Longing for the embrace of another
Sweet and foolish
We find a love we'll outgrow

I heard a voice once
It spoke kindness
It spoke beauty
I heard it fade away into static
Fade away like death
A memory that disintegrates as time passes
As any beautiful thing does
