I knew

At first sight

I knew it was you 

I don't know if it was the way you laughed 

Or how whenever you smiled 

Your cheeks turned a rubescent red hue

From that very moment 

I knew

 

From then our relationship grew

And so did the orchids we planted under that tree

Our special tree reserved for you and me

As the seasons went by

We watched our orchids turn blue

And once again 

I knew

 

We married under our tree

Among the orchid and lily 

So lucky was me

To have met such a beautiful soul

So joyful and free

And once again

I knew

 

But as the days passed

And our relationship was no longer new

You grew sick

And no matter how many times I wished it untrue

As you took your final breaths

I knew

 

I knew

That I would have to bury you

Where our orchids once grew.
