Lyric

Like a scent, you slipped away

I reached, but you stayed

We intertwine, yet apart we lie

Smoke drifts with elegance, floating by

Your skin, pale as morning light

You’re a flower on a distant height

You pinch my cheek, as if to know

I’m right here, my smile tries to show

But your lips draw me near

Gray petals fall, the sky turns drear

Even the blue above hides away

And I’m lost in the shadows of your sway

Like a fragrance, you were out of reach

Entwined, yet slipping from my speech

Smoke stays refined, soft as your skin

You are the flower I can’t hold within

Should I ask you out tonight?

No, I’ll save my “maybe” tight

Good things never grow from doubt

I love you, that’s enough, no need to shout

Like a fragrance, you slipped away

Entwined, yet drifting, here I stay

Smoke lingers, elegant as before

I smiled, knowing this is my chore
