You were the type of person who loved dancing in the rain. Laughter and the smell of daisies followed you everywhere I don't think you owned a sweater that wasn't oversized You would leave pressed flowers in all of my books, and I still find them today I never would have imagined how terrible life without you is If only life came back to people who deserved it, people like you. No one except for me knew that behind the daisies and the oversized sweaters, you were hurting You wore the sweaters to hide yourself You were ashamed You never wanted anyone else to hurt, so you spent your time fixing others instead of yourself I tried to help you but I failed And I hate myself for letting you hurt I know I musn't dwell on the past, but it's hard when that's the only thing keeping you alive is my mind

Behind the Daisies
You were the type of person who loved dancing in the rain. Laughter and the smell of daisies followed you everywhere I don't think you owned a sweater that wasn't oversized You would leave pressed flowers in all of my books, and I still find them today I never would have imagined how terrible life without you is If only life came back to people who deserved it, people like you. No one except for me knew that behind the daisies and the oversized sweaters, you were hurting You wore the sweaters to hide yourself You were ashamed You never wanted anyone else to hurt, so you spent your time fixing others instead of yourself I tried to help you but I failed And I hate myself for letting you hurt I know I musn't dwell on the past, but it's hard when that's the only thing keeping you alive is my mind
