Waiving lillies

Lillies by Sarah Bishop, May 2006

Aiming at the clouds, rising high
I brought you some lillies for an occassion so right
I tried to forget you, I tried as I might,
and yet all these flowers reminded me of a night.

A colourful evening that lead to a night,
when we were together feeling so right
the sky was awesome, the stars shone so bright
the warm of your body was leading me right.

Still for one good reason or other besides,
the fantasy was over before it began
and there I was standing confused and deprived
of your sweet loving, your face and your smile.

I took back the flowers, holding them tight
I was kind of lonesome while my feelings went by,
waiting to kiss you, I was playing with my mind
while the lillies waived me good bye.
