Botanical Romance

I met you on a Friday
It was at the city market
You were buying oranges
I was wearing makeup
We talked about the weather
You said it couldn’t get much better
And then you asked me
If I would go for a walk

Maybe it’s time to move on
For he was long ago
And isn’t there to care anymore

We walked through the city street
To the Botanical Gardens
We walked past the old folks
Walking dogs
In the park
And with every foot step
Flowers bloomed beneath our feet
And then you asked me
Do you think you could love me?

Maybe it’s time to move on
For he was long ago
And isn’t there to care anymore

So I guess I’ll come clean
We never left the city market
You were just some guy
Who smiled at me
In the crowd
We never talked about the weather
You know it couldn’t get much wetter
You were just some day dream to add to the pile

Maybe it’s time to move on
For he was long ago
And isn’t there to care anymore
He isn’t there anymore
