Flower child
Oh, flower child
I wish they had let you bloom
Vibrant pink
Will always hold a special place
In my heart
Yellow as a sun-ripe mango
I miss your shine
I grieve the spark you've lost
But hey
It's okay
It's not your fault
☆
Oh, sweet child of rain
I know you had it tough
But you deserve so much love
They don't tell the truth
You're so beautiful to me
Like Rhodochrosite and chalcedony
I think I owe you
I've let you down as everyone
And for that, I want to apologize
I want to make up for it
If you're willing to accept
Me back into your heart
☆
Oh, dear forest child
You know, it's okay to cry
Just please, don't die
Run away into the green
Hide in those dark shadows
I'll take over now. You can rest
If you like
Take comfort in the solitude
Just don't run away
Let me look out for you
I'll be your helping hand
I'd really like to be
☆
This is way too personal to add much context, so I'll just leave it at: Every single line has a deeper meaning.
