I couldn’t believe what I saw when you laid them down

They were yellow, red, white, purple, and pink

They made me feel loved, but inside I couldn’t help but frown

For you knew I was gone before you could blink

Everything you gave me, I cherished with my heart

It was just this one thing that I hardly got that made me think

It made me cry, feel pain, and fall apart

You were nor wrong nor right about the situation

I just couldn’t help but wish everything would restart

It just didn’t really make sense when I did the calculation

Why not give me them whenever we were together

I have no use for them now, so they will serve as a decoration

If you would have given them to me before I died, everyday would have been beautiful weather

I bet it didn’t even cross your mind how valuable they are

Now there’s no turning back because those days are like a lost feather

Whenever I received them, it would be like seeing a shooting star

I know you didn’t know how precious they were to me

Now that I can no longer hold them, having them would be bizarre

But when their in my sight, its like looking over the Red Sea

I hope my thoughts and words are not too much for your head

Even though I think I'm right, you might disagree

I just want you to bring me flowers when I’m alive and not dead.

I wrote this because some people that I know want flowers want them when they are alive rather than dead, and I thought it would be a good idea to write a poem about that situation.
