If I were a flower,
If I were a flower for the joy of being a flower,
A leaf for being a leaf,
If I were a stem,
If I were a leaf and a stem to dress up a flower,
If I were a flower that you will place on your heart,
If I were all sleek and purple petals,
Petals to cover the nudity of a flower,
If I were a flower that you will place on your heart,
If I were the eyelids for the delight of being the eyelids,
The lashes for being the lashes,
If I were the eyes,
If I were the eyelids and the lashes to cover your eyes,
If I were a tear,
A tear running down a cheek,
A tear that loses itself in the lips,
If I were the lips that caress a flower,
If I were the lips and you were a flower…
