[ hand-picked flowers ]

[ 5.23 PM ]

there we were
vibrant and fresh
like hand-picked flowers
hanging upside-down to dry
to last forever
yeah, thats what you said.
there we were
waiting alongside the roadside
panting, waiting, anticipating
two thumbs in the air
didn’t know what was coming.
there we were
naked in bed
like those crazy lovers
romeo and what’s her face
so luxurious and opulent
for now, i’ll pretend im her instead.
now here we are
standing and still
waiting for our american dream
to come out from hiding
we’ll splash onto the scene
like we meant to do before.
here we are
a grand entrance, then an encore
thrills and screams
we’re begging for more.
and there we went
quiet and unnoticed
no sound, just silence
but our moment lingered
still can’t figure out
what is was all for.
