Our Princess Poppy was walking around the garden she found a few minutes away from the village. It was filled with her favorite flowers like, daisies, lilies, roses, tulips, & of course, poppies.

Poppy: *sighs* What a beautiful afternoon, just like always.

Poppy was sixteen when she found this garden, and every day she would water it and pull out the annoying weeds out of the ground. She would even grow new seeds to make it bigger. After a few minutes in the garden, she decided to take a walk in the forest. She started to sing 'Breakaway' in her head.

Aren't you something to admire, 'cause your shine is something like a mirror

And I can't help but notice, you reflect in this heart of mine

Poppy stopped hearing the most angelic voice of a male. The voice echoed around her as the wind blew.

Poppy: Wow....Who is singing like that?

Poppy couldn't help, but follow the voice farther into the woods. She looked everywhere till she heard the voice getting louder.

If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find

Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side

As Poppy got closer, there was a troll sitting under a mushroom. She couldn't see at first, but she got even closer & was in total shock.

'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul

I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go

Just put your hand on the glass, I'm here trying to pull you through

You just gotta be strong

Poppy was in shock that Branch was the one singing. Worried that he might see her, she hid in the bush & blend in. Her heart was racing just by listening to him. She wanted to sing with him, but stayed quiet. She knew he was singing about someone, but she doesn't know who.

Poppy: *whispers: Oh my god....Branch is singing....! His voice is beautiful....But, who is he singing about?*

'Cause I don't wanna lose you now

I'm looking right at the other half of me

The vacancy that sat in my heart

Is a space that now you hold

Show me how to fight for now

And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy

Coming back into you once I figured it out

You were right here all along

It's like you're my mirror

My mirror staring back at me

I couldn't get any bigger

With anyone else beside of me

And now it's clear as this promise

That we're making two reflections into one

'Cause it's like you're my mirror

My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me

Aren't you something, an original, 'cause it doesn't seem merely assembled

And I can't help but stare 'cause I see truth somewhere in your eyes
