You in your pink camouflage army hat
hands on your hips; smiling
Me in that blue seat where I sat
blind to your beauty beguiling

A sunflower grew in my soul
and by the time it bloomed I knew
my life could never truly be whole
unless it was graced by you

I stood a little too close to your fire
I let my heart speak things out loud
I balanced on an unbalanced wire
and shocked an admiring crowd

Now I search the world in fear
that I may never be able to say
all the things you needed to hear
on the day I went driving away
