Catch My Breath

2:54She opens up before the town Petals wake while sun drips down Coffee cup beside the stem Whispers bloom at 8 a.m. Hands so soft with ribbon ties Every rose reflects her eyes She hums a tune the daisies know And lilacs lean to feel her glow She’s blooming sweet, like jasmine air A little joy in everywhere Behind the glass, her world is still But her heart moves with every trill Blooming sweet, the colors sing From roses red to daisy ring She plants a piece of love in me With every stem, she sets it free She reads the notes on orders made A smile forms, then won’t fade To strangers’ words, she adds her own In tulip hues and garden tone One look and I forget the street The world slows down when our eyes meet Wrapped in scent and gentle sway I hope she saves a bloom each day She’s blooming sweet, like jasmine air A little joy in everywhere Behind the glass, her world is still But her heart moves with every trill Blooming sweet, the colors sing From roses red to daisy ring She plants a piece of love in me With every stem, she sets it free Does she know her laugh’s a spring? Every word a sunflower brings I watch in silence, wrapped in grace As flowers grow to match her pace She’s blooming sweet, like jasmine air A little joy in everywhere Behind the glass, her world is still But her heart moves with every trill Blooming sweet, a gentle song I’ve loved her quiet all along And maybe one day she might see The bouquet she’s become for me
