I Based Our Friendship on a Flower

by PJ   Apr 26, 2007


Do u remember when we were kids
Picking off petals of flowers and saying
"He loves me he loves me not"
Even though we knew he didnt, we did it for the hell of it

I know that we are older now
But I saw a flower one day
So I thought I'd pick the petals and do it again
For old time's sake

But this time I didn't do it for a boy
I did for a broken friendship
As I picked the petals off one by one
I said the following:

"true false true false true false true"
"I thought so"
Bet you thought this was the end
Well you oh so wrong

I saw a little white thing hanging by a thread
Well the flower was black
It did look just about dead
You see what I found was a story dark

It was another petal
Just about to fall off
A tear ran down my face
As I looked at it

Our friendship, according to this petal
Was nothing but a lie
It turned out to be fake
Next time I seen u, I looked at u with a sigh

I threw this petal at u
I began to cry
For this little petal
Is the memory u have of my final goodbye
