Botanical Romance

I met you on a Friday

It was at the city market

You were buying oranges

I was wearing makeup

We talked about the weather

You said it couldn't get much better

And then you asked me

If I would go for a walk

Maybe it's time to move on

For he was long ago

And isn't there to care anymore

We walked through the city street

To the Botanical Gardens

We walked past the old folks

Walking dogs

In the park

And with every foot step

Flowers bloomed beneath our feet

And then you asked me

Do you think you could love me?

Maybe it's time to move on

For he was long ago

And isn't there to care anymore

So I guess I'll come clean

We never left the city market

You were just some guy

Who smiled at me

In the crowd

We never talked about the weather

You know it couldn't get much wetter

You were just some day dream to add to the pile

Maybe it's time to move on

For he was long ago

And isn't there to care anymore

He isn't there anymore
