Flowers

I do not understand
My undying love of flowers
I love the way their leaves curl
I love their variety of vibrant petals that adorn them
And I love their fresh floral scent that sends my toes curling
Perhaps my love of flowers
Derives from the love that I once felt for you
Because just like all of my flowers
My love for you died unexpectedly
On a sad summer morning
And I stood by the window
Not understanding why the birds still took flight, and hummed their tune
And 'till this day
Just like my never ending sequence of wilting flowers
You leave me wondering aimlessly outside my window
