Cople Walking through the Trees Vincent Van Gogh

The whispers of the spring
Shall keep me on my way,
But when the lovers pass,
They make me want to stay.

Why am I not one like that,
To live the desired life,
The one of love, homes, kids,
Why don't I need a wife?

I plucked a flower from the ground,
I hold it in my hand.
The brittle thing flew apart
And scattered through the land.

Maybe I'd treat her wrong,
Maybe it cannot be,
Maybe I cannot love.
This path was not for me.

Continue, please good sir,
Good day miss and good night.
I will return to this path
When it starts to feel right.
