I met you
And a seed of hope started to grow in my heart
We spent our days together
Promising we would never part
We were the best of friends
But then I fell for you
That night outside the restaurant
I knew what to do
I sucked in my breath
And finally said it
Looked into your eyes
Your response was long-awaited
But then you turned around
Leaving me alone in the rain
And on that night
I was a smashed flower on the sidewalk again
