You were like a bud ready to flower

You had hints of white peeking out

Even the night sky couldn’t hide your glow

Everyone knew the time would come soon

Everyone sat by my window

Anticipating your bloom

You were ready

You told me you were

So I foolishly awaited your blossom

Now you’ve sprouted

I wish you hadn’t 

But this is what you wanted 

Now your white pedals sparkle with your widow

I’ll miss you

But I know you’re watching from the tree outside my window
