Why oh why am I so sad?

Why can I only remember 

A love we never had?

Down to the letter

Our pairing was wrong.

Like flowers in December

We did not belong.

My memory’s a fetter

Tying me to you.

But I am not your lover,

I do not exist to you. 

Just another springtime flower

Inhabiting your garden.

You passed me over 

And once again,

Left me for another.
