A pink and orange striped flower;
That is what you are.
So sweet and caring,
So full of love worth sharing,
So innocent and untouched.
A perfect flower ready to be plucked.
I ask not of you to be my valentine,
For what i ask comes from my heart, and only mine
I'm asking for forever
I'm asking for you to let me go never.
A pink and orange striped flower;
That is what you are.
Just know I'll run to you,
Whether I am near or far.
