When we first met I didn't realise

I would fall in love with those deep, red eyes.

We fought a lot and smirked and sneered

Until one day I was endeared.

So you and I, we took a break

From all the fighting and heartache.

Decided to try something new

And see if love could start to bloom.

One day we sat, you brushed my hair

I touched your chest, your skin, so fair

You looked at me, eyes bright and new

And said to me, "Blossom, I love you."

You held me then, and in that time

I told you you were always mine.

So soon it seems it came around

The time we made our wedding vows.

We raised our kids and soon they grew

Taking on the world bravely, just like you.

Now they're back home, tears in their eyes

They don't know what to do now that their mother cries.

When we first met I didn't realise

That one day I would lose those loving, red eyes.

Torn away by age and time

I'm calmed to know I'll soon follow behind.
