My dearest Lilli flower
Your smile blooms as though a flower in the day of spring
Your deep dark eyes shined as though the sun
Your hair flows as though the leaves of the tree
Could we pretend
Even just for night
That you never stop loving me
That you’re not in someone else’s arms holding you
The way I once did
Do you remember the night we shared
That wonderful night filled with our kisses
Our promise of something we could not keep
And yet you still held me in your arms till we drifted off to sleep
But the truth is that you are not mine anymore
I have no right to feel this way
I know I shouldn’t but how could I not
To be in your arms as I once did
How dearly missed but we once had
That wonderful night
Could you pretend you still loved me
Pretend that you still cared
Pretend that I still mattered
Do you remember how you taught me to ride a bike
And to do a cart wheel and to roller-skate
Or when you taught me how to do make up
How I miss the days playing as the children we were
We were just kids
What would a 12-year-old know about love
We were still in school
But I always knew I loved you
I know how I felt
How I feel
You have taught me so much
You’ve taught me to love others and myself
You were like no other so unique and so special
Your smile blooms as though a flower in the day of spring
Your deep dark eyes shined as though the sun
Your hair flows as though the leaves of a tree
I will always love you
My Dearest Lilli Flower
