We grew in different directions, but
I'm afraid that's just how flowers work
Growing towards the brightest light
And everything that we need more
We ended up needing different things
Even though we shared some space
And that's fine, really, I promise
You and I were just not the same
Every flower needs to grow
So we ended up on different sides
And before I could even look back
I was too far gone, you out of sight
Just so you know, I don't blame you
Sometimes flowers change their paths
And whenever I look back at us
There's not a single thing that I regret
Because in the end, I will still know
That once, I was planted next to you
And we will forever be connected
By our past and by our roots
My roots are still planted next to yours
And that will always stay the same
So no matter where my flowers bloom
My roots remember you, always
