i need you like pollen needs a bee
you're the only thing that can prove me useful.
and in this hive,
i wait patiently to be turned into
sweet, thick honey
i would give my life to keep you alive

all i ask is for just one thing
never forget the flower that made me
so that each and every time you pass by
you'll remember that special taste

if my flower ever were to close
to wilt away in winter snow
know that in each and every petal
your name was written
so as it sinks into the soil
the earth will embrace you
now that i cannot
