Flowers in May - Kassem Mosse, Simone White

Here’s what I learned when you went away

The jacaranda tree flowers in may

Jasmine blooms after the rain

4am hear the first plane

Ride a bike along the beach the end of the day

The sun descends in red and slowly fades

Think of all the things I want to say

Too late

When will I forget I don’t know

I want to keep you here inside me to remind me that everything unfolds

One day we’ll see

Hang a white dress on a line in the sun

Do the laundry and the dishes sweep the kitchen

Save the bees and baby birds that fall from the trees

Look there’s one

All night in spring the mockingbird sings

Stay up till dawn and sleep all day long

I can feel you with me every moment

Even though you’re very gone

When will I forget I don’t know

I want to keep you here inside me to remind me that everything unfolds

One day we’ll see

Hang a white dress on a line in the sun

Save the bees and baby birds that fall from the trees

Clean the glasses line them up in a row

I won’t let you go

Here’s what I learned when you went away

The jacaranda tree flowers in may

Jasmine blooms after the rain

4am hear the first plane
