Round up, kids, I have a story to tell,

Of how for your mother I fell.

I was seven when I started to sell,

Roses just for your mom to smell.


Oh boy, I was smitten,

Didn't know by which bee I was bitten.

My eyes followed her where ever she went,

Attracted they were like a magnet.


Everyone seemed to know my secret,

But I couldn't care less at that point.

I don't think she even knew my name,

But it didn't matter because I was in love all the same.


I don't think she knew I existed until uni,

When she started to pay attention to me.

She used to give me these shy smiles from across the class,

That made my heart beat a weird rhythm in my ears.


She used to watch me from the corner of her eye through her window,

And I used to pray every night to my pillow.

Oh how I wanted to call her mine,

Stay with her even after nine.


Then one day she asked me out on a date,

Made me want to scream to tell the whole state.

Over the moon was an understatement of how I felt,

On top the universe is more accurate.


Even after 20 years, she still takes my breath away,

Pretty much like she did that first day.

When she met a quirky, little kid,

Playing games was all he did.

Until she crashed his world like a storm progressed,

And left him utterly and forever obsessed.
