you flew from amsterdam
and gave me tulips i adore,
told me that
you'd stay with me
until its last petal wilted,
but as it slowly losing its life,
i didn't see you beside me instead
i saw you watering the roses
in your neighborhood,
trimming the leaves
that blocked its growth—
how i wish you could do that for me too
and eventually help me lasts
and so with our love.
