I bought a whole fucking plant for you
with a huge gorgeous purple flower that reminded me of you
I never forgot that your favorite color is purple
"Periwinkle," you told me

But before I had the chance to show you the flower I knew you'd appreciate,
you told me about him
And that was the day the flower withered too

The plant is still well and alive
A new flower with the same purple hue starting to bloom
As beautiful as it is, it is now just a painful reminder
That the relationship I wanted between me and you
never even had the chance to start to bloom
