Orchids - Maria Taylor

I won’t get mad

And I won’t break in two

'Cause I understand you

I’ll take this change

And let my clothes soak with rain

As I study orchid blooms

And some can’t live unless they feed on fallen leaves

And so you’ll let me down to come alive when you comfort me

I’ve watched you change

I’ve heard your words rearrange

Way back from the start

And if I did teach you anything at all

I hope it was to love with all your heart

And they open wide with imperfect symmetry

And so you’ll love like you, and I will love like me

And to be reborn

They have to go to seed

So angel, you will have to set me free
