lonely when i first met you
didn't know it then, but now i do
puzzle pieces don't always fit - even two
that really, really want to

i dove into your open, empty arms desperate for safety from loneliness' harm
allowing reason to be swept up by charm
ignoring the plea of my broken heart's alarm

hopelessly repressing this ache in my chest
unbelieving pain so harrowing could be for the best
buried it deep down, overwhelmed with stress
but it taught me how important it is to express

we were once orchids, elegant beneath the sun as they bloom
a blissful, open-windowed drive in the rainy afternoon
there were fervent kisses that would cause me to swoon
all now history written in the stars and moon

but i now know how to blossom
to search higher than the bottom
with an ending so solemn
it never saw the beauty of autumn
