FLOWERING FOOLISHNESS

you planted something inside me
a reminder of our promise.
we waited with our fingers crossed,
wishing for our god's sweetest kiss.

worries we endured patiently,
the dreams that we dared to fashion,
ideas that danced inside our heads.
such fools, driven by our passion.

of course, only fools fall in love
and so we stole a gurantee.
darling, we didn't quite suceed
but one day we will, you'll see.

one day when the soil is ready
and the sun shines bright, i know
we will plant a beautiful seed
and we will watch this sweet love grow.

when it blooms into that flower
and all its beauty meets our eyes
we will remember this promise
as fools we will know we were wise.
