Not going away.

an acapella song i wrote in the car today.

 i had a dream that you went for a walk 

and you never,

you never came back.

and it made me so sad that i woke up

and i realised

it was all just

a bad, bad dream...

 

so i went for a walk to the flower

shop in the morning that day,

and i bought you some roses

just to say thank you,

thank you for choosing to stay,

oh i bought you some roses

just to say thank you,

thanks for not going away.

 

when you and i were talking

over peppermint tea out the back

of your place the other day

i said that i think that it's nice

that the old

butterflies are

still inside.

 

and you said that you think so, too.

you said that you think so, too.

i'm still all a flutter

for you.

 

so thank you for choosing to stay,

and thanks for not going away.

Aw this is so sweet! It's romantic and it reminds me of an ideal sort of romance; being grateful for each other's presence and feeling so lighthearted when in their presence.
(I don't want to be totally generic with this last sentence, but I must say it!) Thank you for sharing:)

A kind and beautiful poem. Love test is staying together for 50 years. I like the story and the emotion of love in your words. A excellent poem.

This is a gorgeous romantic song, and it's as sweet and refreshing as peppermint tea.
