The petals fall from her fingers
As she picks each one
With each petal she picks
Another memory of them fills her mind
She can't stop the fact that she still loves him
And that everytime she lets her mind wonder
It always wonders back to him
He stole her heart with the blink of an eye
And gave it back in tiny pieces
Even with her heart shattered
She still loves him with everything she has
Even with all the pain he's caused her
She can't help but want him back
He was there in the beginning
When all the problems started for her
he helped her through the hard times
And comforted her in time of need
Loving him was all she knew
He was all she wanted
He filled the petals of her heart with hope
Then drained her with five words
I'm breaking up with you
The five words she never wanted to hear
She loved him
And that's all that mattered
Now she's lost without him by her side
What happened that it ended like it did
She wonders
As she picks that last petal of her heart
She looks across the meadow
As the last tear falls from her eye
